Just be aware that drawing any elk tag in California is likely going to take many years. If you want to get going hunting elk I would recommend another state. There are plenty of places you can just go buy a cow tag or draw one every year or every-other-year. There is always a chance to draw in...

I’m well prepared to be mostly disappointed, mostly.

Well, this seems appropriate for the FF thread. This buck finally came back home to me last week after ~25 years away. I think I have posted a few pics of him over the years here but now he’s home again. In the late 90’s my uncle put me in for the J12 hunt, and somehow, I drew it (10 total...

It’s an incredible place, we spend a lot of time there too. And, while California doesn’t have the antler genetics that some other western states do, there is still great opportunity to be had for adventure chasing mature bucks with a pack on your back!

Specks are yummy. Nice haul!

Nice buck, that’s a sweet sled too. I like that.

Yeah how about some close-ups of the top 3 bucks and some stories? If you want.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Drew’s products. I do own high quality versions from other manufacturers in the bipod and tripod genres but I consistently reach for my Tricer products. The Tricer RP bipod is a standout product. I have been a shooting stick guy for a long time and have...

My second child, a daughter, was born in mid-August this year, so I knew my hunting season was going to be pretty much a total loss. I bought a D16 tag though and figured I’d see if I could get a couple days in the field here and there. My daughter has turned out to be very chill and I...

Nice buck, congrats

Congrats! A solid finish

Congratulations Darryl! Seems like a number of people broke their D16 dry spell this year.

What’s taking so long?

A successful spot and stalk hunt coming together like that in the desert is really rewarding, congrats!

Congrats, strong work!

Looks even better on the wall! Thanks again Ed. I highly recommend @BOWUNTR for big game taxidermy services. Very easy to work with, quick turn around, reasonable prices…. I’m glad I mounted this buck. As I said before, not a numbers buck but I can’t get enough of that frame!
