Morning all. This is the first year that we are trying our hand at turkey hunting. With the youth season being this past weekend, we headed out both days. We located a good number of toms and jakes on public land both days and set up to call. We would get a gobble response about 1/2 the...

I might be late to the party here, but I just found out that they discontinued the Cipher pattern. I was given a BS explanation about always striving to put out the best patterns, but honestly, it seems like a marketing gimmick and as a consumer, leaves me with no confidence in their brand. I...

Headed out in the morning with my oldest 2 sons to try and fill a J11 tag. Looking forward to time in the wild (and cold) with them.

Not great news for our deer populations in the Central Valley. Jumping from Shasta to Tulare counties makes me wonder how many more packs are this far south. Won’t be long until they inhabit the So Cal ranges as well...

I'm hoping that some of you more experienced hunters have an accurate idea on the affect that this severe winter is going to have on our deer numbers? I have read in years past about the affects of hard winters on deer numbers in other states and it seems that CA's '22-23 winter would qualify...

My brother sent this to me yesterday, and we have found it to be very true!

Any tips, tricks, or gear recommendations for packing fish back to the truck after a day of hiking/fishing mountain lakes/creeks? Or do you just keep what you can eat onsite?

My second oldest son drew J11 this year. I have never hunted the zone (D14) and will likely only be able to make 1 scouting trip down there. Any helpful tips or areas that might look good on a map that we should cross off our list?

I know it's a poke for most on here, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to post anyways.

Afternoon all. I recently discovered that a bladder of mine was leaking and I now have 2 upland bird vest packs with mold. Any tips on how to get rid of the mold and save the packs?

Evening all. My oldest son drew J14 this year and is pretty stoked about the possibilities. Other than to stay out of the game refuge, anyone have any advise for us? We have never hunted this far South before, so this is new territory for us. We are going to do some scouting this summer, but...

Forgive my ignorance, but anyone know what the rubber ring on these packs are for?

Evening all. For his 9th bday, my son really wants to catch some fish. Sadly, I am completely ignorant when it comes to fishing. When I was a kid my Dad, brothers, and I would head to to fish and catch nothing even though the guy next to us was realing them in. We would even move to where he...

How do you guys check the weather forcast when you are in the backcountry and out of cell range? I see that Garmin offers a weather service, but it's only 1 text per mo with the subscription and I go out 4+ times a month during the fall. I'm hoping that you guys can drop some knowledge on me here!

FYI...Episode 87 features a SoCal hunter from Ventura. I really enjoyed this podcast and thought that Ruben had some good stuff to say. He was also recently on the Project Upland podcast. It’s nice to finally have some CA representation in this arena.

Anyone else having real bad luck with the steel shot? I have searched around for Bizmuth, but haven’t had any luck. Seems like a lot of solid hits don’t have the same result as in the past with lead. I’ve also looked around for 5 or 6 shot steel and haven’t been able to find any either.

Evening all. I have been packing around my .45 for a while now while afield. Lately I’ve been kicking around getting a .357sig (Glock 32) to pack around with. Out of curiosity, would you carry .45 or .357sig while out an about in the CA wilderness?

Evening all. Anyone have any experience with cerakote on a pistol? If so, like? Dislike? I’m considering having it applied to a semi-auto but I’m concerned about the wear from a kydex holster.

How do you guys transport your dogs in hot weather? And riding in the cab of my truck is not an option, ha! It easily hit 100+ here but I’d still like to take him out when the kids and I get away on the weekends.

I have a like new Nikon Force 2.5-8x28 EER Matte BDC for sale; $180 plus shipping. I don’t believe I have ever mounted this on any firearm so it’s in like new condition. Scope caps and rings included.
