Trying to get rid of this cooler. Its in good shape, solid inside and out, just needs a cleaning and also new latches, which can be had for $10 on Amazon. It still fully shuts and keeps things cold though. Good one for birds, fish, bait, whatever. So if anyone is relatively near to Escondido...

Well, decided to try San J for the first time yesterday, getting there about 10 to do a refill. I know the afternoon shooting had been very slow, but Figured if I was going to get skunked I'd rather drive 1 hour to do so than 3 to the valley. And, i figured this would be a good scouting run for...

Just curious, I could swear I heard about guys getting on in the afternoon when other people have left for the day. Is that correct? If so, how does it work, what time do you show up, how do they organize the sweat line, etc.? Wondering if its worth giving it a try one of these days if I can't...

Just wondering how its been down there. Bringing the 2 boys for our first trip this week since we are done with big game. Many birds in and around wister?

Just wondering who anyone uses around the north San Diego area in terms of shipping a gun into California to an FFL. I'd like to avoid it by hand carrying it or something, but it's just not working out. Shipping might just be the easiest way. Anyone have a quickest/easiest place to go?

Have a quick question, need an answer. Got an invite for my 14yo to hunt a club in the Valley right on the outskirts of Wister. The club has a chance at some geese occasionally. I looked at the regs, and it's within a specific goose area, which has certain seasons broken up. According to the...

So, is it wrong to be so excited when a hunt is 10 months away, and you find yourself spending hours watching videos of hunting in the location you're planning on going to????? LOL...... Doing a retirement hunt to Colorado for second season this fall with my 14yo. Going 2nd rifle, so I can do...

Good morning. Just got back into duck hunting after a 10+ year hiatus. When I did hunt before, it would be at the river, or at Barrett lake down here. I have never put in for any of the wildlife area draws. So a couple days ago I logged in under my son's account and applied for the last couple...

Decided to get back into duck hunting after a decade hiatus. My 14 year old was itching to try, especially since we got a lab last year, she's now a year and a half old. So, we decided to Head tothe valley. I was going to go all the way to the river, but Steve gave me an idea closer. This was...

If I popped off a few rounds in the middle of San Marcos???? LOL.......

G'Mornin all! So, haven't been duck hunting in 12 years or so. Went a few different times with my buddy, who has since passed away. He had all the knowledge and the dogs. So, I got a dog from his last litter that was born just 4 days after he passed away, and I'd like to get her into duck...

Took my 13 year old for some exercise and grocery shopping, him taking the gun in case we were attacked by and Coronavirus infected birds. Looking for turkey breasts, since Trader Joe's and Vons have been picked clean. Didn't see much, just 4 birds on private land, only 1 gobbler. Not any sign...

All the counties around San Francisco just ordered 7 million residents to not leave their house except for essential grocery shopping or if their job requires it. If that happens here, wonder if I should still take the kids hunting next weekend for turkey... LOL

Didn't make it out this year for early dove, haven't hunted pheasant in 15+ years out there, and never tried quail there. But, got a new lab this spring, she's 8 months old and birdy as heck. Wanted to run out there one of these next 2 weekends, bring my 9 and 13 year old, and just see if we...

Took a trip with the family to Vermont for Thanksgiving last week. It's the second week of the rifle season, so my 13 year old was excited to get out with Grandpa, and even my 9 year old wanted to try his hand at hunting for deer. We put in about 20-22 hours in the blind/stand over 6 days...

Got to take my twelve-year-old out for the opener yesterday. Don't have a lot of time to scout, so I have to hit the Old Reliable areas that I and about a thousand other people know about. But still, were able to get there just with a couple other Hunters before daylight and get set up. Spoke to...

Man, seeing some really nice bucks in velvet out there lately. Cooler weather has them moving around, even mid-day. They'll all disappear the week before the season though, but that's something my son will have to learn in his first year hunting CA big game...... LOL

So, out of curiosity, the J hunts are all considered premium tags. If you look at the regulations, it states that: Premium tags: -90% to preference points -10% random drawing Apprentice tags: -50% Preference points -50% random drawing So which is it? Does it fall under the Apprentice...

Well, took the kiddo out for youth Season opener Saturday. Both of us were pretty excited, hoping for him to get his second turkey ever. We headed up into the hills, and got there 30 minutes early. We were hunting a small patch of land, unfortunately right by the road, but hey, it has birds...

My kid will be 12 this June, so he can start hunting big game here in CA with me (Yeah!). This is my first time though looking through the books for information on youth hunts/tags that are offered. I could just let him apply for a G-13 tag, then buy a D-16 so he can shoot either deer during...
