Thinking of heading out on one of the night charters, wondering how the crawl is looking?

Yo dudes. I know we have a lot of knowledgeable fishermen in this group. People always ask me how to get into fishing - how to even get on a boat. So I wrote down everything I know about it in a book. If you or someone you know wants to learn about the sport, check it out...

I didn't make it out for the opener. But sunday I hiked up to my "promising spot" with Bonjour. I had been to this saddle point only twice, both in the drizzle, and found fresh poop and beds, as well as expansive views. We were in place sunday morning by 5 am, 1.5 hrs before shooting light. As I...

Sorry if this is long...looking for advice. Two weeks ago I was scouting in the heavy drizzle/light rain. I found a decent buck print that appeared only hours old near a saddle of a ridge. That seemed promising so I went back last sunday (also in light drizzle) and glassed the saddle from grey...

I've mentioned Hank Shaw on here a few times; one of my favorite hunting/fishing food writers. He has a kickstarter out for a new venison cook book. He's including tips on handling/processing and recipes from around the world. I own his first two books and they are great, I'm pre-ordering this...

Last year we had a heartbreaking story on this forum. A first time hunter (name withheld to protect the innocent) had his first kill: a beautiful and massive 4x4 that he had caught on camera before the season. He forget his pen so he fixed the unsigned tag and dragged the beast out. Mr Green...

Is anyone thinking/worrying about El Nino? 'They' are predicting a hugely wet year; how will that affect our so cal seasons (say, I don't know, D16)?

Yo peeps. I just booked this trip. If any SCH people want to meet up on a boat, there are a few spots left. Experienced or first time welcome.

I'm curious about people's opinions on when to scout for deer. I know some people will say they (or one should) scout all the time. No doubt being in the woods a lot is good for the body/mind and makes you a better hunter. BUT. If you had to choose some certain months, what would they be? I...

I'm in the market. Obviously want high reliability and low price. Anyone know brands, deals, etc?

My brother-in-law wants to hunt Elk in Idaho next year, his brothers live in Driggs and we can stay there for free. Looks like that's zone 65, but part of the Palisades zone: 64, 65, 67. A quick look makes me think I should be able to get a tag there. But the googles indicate most successful...

I'm going water fowling this weekend for the first time. Three days of whacking birds at the Colorado River. What are your favorite ways to dress, process, and cook waterfowl?

OK sports fans. Here's a question that has me stumped. It's really a two part question. Can you hunt 2 different states on the same day? Firstly, as far as limits go: It seems to me that if you could fill two limits in one day, by crossing state lines, then limit and possession rules become...

Well, another year, another unfilled tag. I'm bored of tag soup, thinking of grinding it up and making a quick bread. This was my second year. I was only able to get out scouting twice and hunting for 6 days. All told I put in 50 hours and walked 30 miles. I think people who are 'successful'...

Hey welcome to the sport. We get a lot of new hunters around here, especially in November during the hunting seasons. We tend to field the same questions so here’s a guide for getting started. When to start: ironically, the middle of the hunting season (Fall) is the wrong time to start hunting...

Well, it might be getting a bit late this year, but I was wondering if people would be willing to share very generic rut information that they're seeing. There's relatively little information about the mule deer rut, especially west of Nevada. This way we could track a broad overview of the rut...

This topic has been covered but is worth reiteration. I bought my rig there 3 years ago and John (NBK) set me up right! Last night I posted on here that I tripped and fell while hunting and was worried about my scope zero. John told me to come on it and he'd check it out. I went by this...

Hey dudes. I put in 8 miles on D16 yesterday, for nothing. But the hard part was, I tripped over the gate at the trail head and fell. Hard. Nice way to start a long hike. I looked over the rig (Ruger American .270 with Leupold VX1, a la Fine Firearms) and everything seemed OK; no evidence of...

Last week I bought Whoopbass (Bobby)'s backpack off the classifieds. When I went to pick it up, we chatted about our three favorite things: hunting, fishing, and beer. Long story short, he invited me out for a D16 sesh. He's knackered so he asked me to post the story. I met Bobby at his house...

I follow Steve Rinella on the twitters. Yesterday he posted a link to this audio: an old timer telling the story of his bear attack. It's worth 30 seconds of your time, but after that you'll probably listen to the remaining 8 minutes...
