Mt Lions. In Idaho I could take a Lion with a deer tag. They understand you have to balance predetor to prey ratios. I've was screamed at by 2 Lions last year (spooky) and stalked by one 4 years ago.

You won't get meat on the table in SOCAL if you pass that...no hesitation here on anything legal! Boom and I'm lugging meat. I had a guy like him on camera for 3 years. Figured he was 4 when I first got pics. started greying up and after the third year....no more pics. Coyotes, Mt Lion or...

From tree stand or ground blind at a calm (unaware) deer, with no wind and a good accurate range,,,I'd be comfortable with 50-55yds. Moving deer in same situation I'd like 40, if I could get him to stop. Then the range is a slight guestimate. Some wind and deer sensing something (nervous) I...

Two full days this weekend. Not a thing moving during the day in my area. Hot. Combination of Full moon and heat maybe? Found some tracks on my tracks the morning of the second day. Sure wish this rain had come Friday or this weekend!! Big bucks seems to still be holed up. None of my...

Looks like a winner for sure....keep at it!

Nice Job. I second Idaho. Just got back Sunday from 2-week trip. Had two close encounters. One with a nice cow at 85 yds...couldn't get closer. Second was with a BIG 6x7 at 35yds. He was paralleling me into the wind, in the thick timber. I just started to draw when he crossed my only...

Idaho requires fixed blades. I use them there and same here unless winds pick up past 20MPH. They seem simpler (KISS Principle I try to live by). Heavy winds, I'll switch to mechanicals which have less sail area up front and hope they function as designed. Seems to me shot placement and...

Two fine mature deer and lots of meat until next fall! Well done.

Great job in a new area. I met a guy in Idaho who "knew a better area" and he would pack me in with his horses. HA! I solo hunted where he didn't want me and have had two big bulls within 30yds the last two years, just couldn't get a clear shot with the bow at either. Way to read through his...

Great job and super buck. Outstanding pic of the wicked terrain one needs to hit, to be successful! I've grunted and rattled and had cruising bucks U-turn. Not sure if it was the antler rattling or the grunt but they will get curious. Worked for me last year on a nice 3x3 I thought was gone...

Nice job! Little more than a month to get my A22 filled. Hope I can do as well!

Seen many big ones in there. That's a great buck. Hope he migrates 30-40 miles to my honey hole! Thanks for sharing.

Super buck and great shooting! Good luck on A22! I'll be out sweating it out this weekend too.

Beautiful buck! Private land...I'm jealous, the meadows look awesome, the only flat area where I hunt is the 10x10 spot I pitch my tent!

Started at 16. Stopped at 17 and started again when I retired in 2012. Hunt the weekdays if feasible. I get FAR away from roads and I stay away from private (usually Wilderness areas or National Forest). Few years back,I had a bad experience with a private landowner chasing me off public...

Tell her great job! To you dad: Way to balance school, soccer and everything else being a dad of a teenager entails...and still find time to get it done!

Got mine 2 Nov at 3,800ft and he was definitely dogging a doe and neck looked thick! IMO earlier than that last several years. Hope something is still happening after the A22 season opens again!

That. 2012 fork, 2013 (fork and 1x2), 2014 (2 tag soups), 2015 (2x3 and 3x3), 2016 (2x3 and archery tag soup), 2017 (3x3, found 3x4 Mt Lion kill, and TBD archery)

Awesome story of public land perseverance! Way to stick with it, ignore the local who tried to steer you from his honey hole (have had that experience in Idaho), and there is no shame in hunting water (the patience is sometimes harder than spot and stalk)!!

Good job and Kudos for taking the time to find him when you were having doubts...too many people call it quits after a 15min search and not finding blood. I've been lucky and find most within yds but had one that it took an hour to find first blood another hour of hard tracking. This terrain...
