    Unique FL yote down

    Never seen a melanistic (black) coyote in Cali, and I’ve called in a bunch over the years there. This makes the 3rd one I’ve seen while hunting down in Florida. I missed one back in 2018 and I figured I whiffed my only chance. Well today I was finally was able to connect! 530 grain subsonic...

    Still lurking from Florida

    Still lurking on the site after moving from San Diego to Florida. Love keeping up with the 16ers. Deer season in FL opens next weekend here as well, so I’ve been keeping busy hunting gators. Tagged out today with my second one. They’re not huge ones, but in my experience if you stick with...

    Goodbye San Diego

    Well left Friday morning at 0330 for good. Making my last military move, coincidently it’s to my wife’s home town so we’ll probably never move again. Wife flew out to Florida, didn’t want to do the drive, so I decided to go see my folks in Northern California for a week before hitting the...

    Fine Firearms .338

    Starting to stretch the legs on her a little. Hammers are shooting good at 100 (pic below, one shot, adjusted scope followed by 3 shots), then took her to 200. Will try 400 in a couple weeks. Pretty sweet video of the vapor trail here! .338 Hammer Trail Ryan

    NorCal Chuckar

    Headed up to my parents on some leave for the week. Started it out with a chuckar hunt today. I love to hate these stupid birds. Found out it can be too cold to light off powder in reloads. Thought all those people who say it were crazy. After watching my first shot roll out the barrel...

    M6 hunters??

    Where’s all the smoke pole hunters on here? Haven’t seen if anybody did any good? I had 3 does on Saturday morning within range but passed in hopes to find a buck. Had my Saturday evening was ruined by a land owner who yelled across the canyon 30 minutes before sunset that I was good to hunt...

    Fine Firearms 338 SS

    @NBK Just wanted to say thanks for the quick turnaround! Couldn’t wait for the bolt to be nitrided before shooting so took it out today. Fire forming brass with 230eld x and 60grns RL-17 gave me a cool 2711 fps. I have 25 more to fire form but looking promising so far! Target is last 6...

    Still doves around

    With the closure of all NF in Cali my plans to hunt today were shot. I was taking a coworker who’s never hunted California, so I started to scramble on onX trying to find some BLM to hunt. After making it through the night with no a/c, generator died, I didn’t have much hope for the area...

    I’m back in Cali...Dove opener

    Hello all, haven’t posted on this forum since probably 2012-2013. The military sent me over seas then to Florida for the last 5 years. Well, got stationed back in San Diego in April and hit the ground running with hunting. Made it out to imperial valley for opening weekend of Dove and had one...
