    looking for coyote hunting partner / teacher.

    Hey guys, I'd love to get into coyote hunting. I've got plenty of hunting experience, I'm in shape, work hard, and I'd wear a blindfold to protect your favorite spot. Just don't have any experience hunting yotes, but have always wanted to. I'm in Simi Valley and am not opposed to traveling a...

    Stolen Game Camera...Recognize These Guys?

    I haven't decided yet exactly what I am going to do. I have very clear photos of them at the camera that was taken. I have very clear HD video of them (I had a head mounted GoPro recording when I passed them on the trail) carrying a fishing pole from an area with no legal fishing. I'll either...

    Stolen Game Camera...Recognize These Guys?

    Went to check on my cameras tonight after a month long soak, and discovered one was gone. Because of where it was located, I had another camera set up just to watch this camera in case it got stolen. That camera captured two people, on bicycles, wearing the same same clothes as these guys...

    Not SoCal, but....

    The rifle is a Savage 111 in .30-06. The recurring joke throughout the hunt was that the .30-06 is only capable of taking big game at 200 yds. or less. We disproved that theory. My caribou was 650, my B-I-L took a caribou at 260, dad took a moose at 424, and then our last moose was 160. All...

    Not SoCal, but....

    Thank you! I was using the Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14X40 w/ Mildot BDC. I don't use the BDC... I prefer the elevation turret and have everything I need to know printed on a small card inside the scope cap. The scope tracks beautifully, and I can get 1st shot hits at 200, then 300, 400, 500, 600...

    Not SoCal, but....

    The bullet was nowhere to be found, passed straight through, though the exit wound (in the meat) was about the size of my fist. The minimum velocity for max expansion with the TTSX is 2000fps, and at 650 I would have been around 1750, so, I shot knowing I wouldn't get max performance. But, It...

    Not SoCal, but....

    Just wrapped up a two week caribou and moose hunt back home in Alaska. Here's my caribou! 650 yard heart shot, .30-06, 180gr. Barnes TTSX handload.

    Nice Review about Ruger American

    Does your Savage have the AccuStock? If so, it may be much stiffer than the Ruger. Ive got the Savage 111 XP without the accustock and it's very flimsy. Shooting from a bipod pushes the stock right up against the barrel. As far as getting what you pay for, I would say that this is one of...

    Trail Cam....the results are in!

    My apologies brother. I was pretty quick to jump to the completely wrong conclusion. I'm sorry for assuming the worst and questioning your character, especially publicly.

    There may be an app for learning how to find your own places to hunt. LOL.

    Scouting mistakes?

    Thanks brother! I was warned to stay out of their bedding area, but I did stumble across dozens of depressions where they were clearly laying down, with scat all over the place. I'm hoping these were temporary bedding areas and not what they consider their "home" that I red to stay out of...

    Scouting mistakes?

    Ok, we made it back alive!! We saw one deer cross the trail about 100 yards ahead of us but it was dark, about 9:30, and we couldn't tell if it was a buck or not. Checked all 4 cameras after only a 5.5 day soak, and two of the four cameras had hits. Unfortunately, the one that had the most...

    Scouting mistakes?

    Thanks again for all the input guys. We're headed up there now to glass the hillsides for an hour or so, and then we'll hook up the meat wagon and bike to our hilltop. I'm confident it's not anywhere near a bedding area as it's only knee high grass.... No trees on that hill at all. Wish us...

    Scouting mistakes?

    Thanks Aeon, that makes me feel better about my plan. As far as not getting eaten by the kitty, well, my buddy is going with me, and I can run faster than him :)

    Scouting mistakes?

    I can understand that. Then again, how do you gather intel if you don't scout it routinely? I figure I'm upping the odds of success by using cameras and several hours of glassing to time to determine where they are, their routes, when they move, etc. Then it seems it's just a matter of...

    Scouting mistakes?

    Thanks for that :) I believe the spot I want to plant myself in is quite a distance from the bedding area. Its basically a grassy hilltop between bedding areas and water, no trees up there. From this point I have a 360 degree view of the area, its the highest point in the area, and it's right...

    Scouting mistakes?

    Hey guys, I am planning on going out to my spot tonight and am considering staying overnight. I have a spot where I can glass several hillsides during sundown from about a mile away, then after sunset I was going to go right in the middle of where I want to hunt on a ridge line where I have...

    Holy smokes, you're paralyzed on the left side of your body? Dang man, the fact that you even WANT to hunt is awesome! Are you able to walk or use your arm? Have you ever hunted before?
