baboltin, any chance you need a buddy for next years hunt? Also, archery or rifle?

Ah, I hear ya loud and clear! Thanks!

Oh man, I'm glad you brought this up. I guess when in doubt call the warden!

11k is way up there! No kidding, his wife's deer is amazing!

Holy crap! I didn't know D7 still held bucks of that size. Obviously they were way up if there was still snow on the ground though. baboltin, when are you headed up???

Hey everyone, I'm just looking for some hunting buddies in the area. Anyone live here in the Central Valley? Or anyone within driving distance so I might join you? Anyway, I'm up for hunting anything as long as I can get out in the field and meet new people!

Hi McKenna, I actually live in the Central Valley (Visalia). About 2 hours from you. Anyway, I'm a noob as well but am up for hunting with you if you're ever in the area or if you find any places your way I'd be more than happy to head out your way to hunt with you. My InLaws have a place in San...

Cali Ridge, that is pretty funny. I imagine it was scary at the time though. Yeah, I've heard there are deer up there. I just need to figure out where to go and put the leg work into it. Whoa, that's a big set of antlers for D7!!

Kuma, have you shot the Oak Tree Tournament put on by the Roving Archers? I've been down to that tournament the last two years.

Keeping target shooters out makes more sense. How sad it is to know that people would take trash up to such beautiful areas just to blow it up and leave it.

Wow! Really glad you're okay.

It's unfortunate your first two encounters weren't great but I'm glad you stuck with it. Archery is an amazing sport and absolutely worth the time, money and frustrations that are part of it. Welcome to archery!

Sounds good. I read up on the 150 yard rule. I'm glad for that one! Also, I suppose the rule that you must be in pursuit of game makes sure people aren't trying to take up residence on those lands.

Ah, should have researched google lol

Those are some nice birds! Yeah, I actually got the Onxmap app about a month ago. What a great resource! Because of that app I'm finding a ton of land open to public hunting that I didn't even know existed. I just haven't had a chance to go and check any of it out yet. Is it true that all...

That sounds about right. Everything I've heard about hunting up here includes miles and miles of hiking. Not so bad if you enjoy the outdoors though.

Wow, you guys weren't joking! Pardon the ignorance but what does "WA" and "NWR" refer to?

Hey all, new to the site and looking for some hunting buddies and guidance. Has anyone archery hunted D7/D8 lately? I've heard its tough hunting, to get up high and walk my butt off but that there are deer up here. Any advice would be great!

Thanks guys! I've been duck hunting only once way back when. I'll need to look into it again. I only remember private land though. Is there public land in this area worth it?

Thanks, ilovesprig! I've heard some pretty good things about those areas including Pine Flat Lake, Eastman Lake and Hensley Lake. I'll probably start with Lake Success since it's closest. I just recently found out that much of the lands around the local lakes is either Forest, BLM or Army Corp...
