    Grandsons first pig.

    I meant to reply to this sooner... Such a great story GunDogLover, glad your grandson had an adventure.. My son and I had a similar adventure with Rocky.. My wife let me splurge on a guided hunt because my son's medical condition was deteriorating so quickly we wondered how many more hunting...

    Where Does One Go To Learn About Regulations?

    I'd say start with one animal. Say rabbit.. Figure out where you want to hunt (get OnX)..Google "hunting in such and such county" and look for nuances for that area. What the hours are. What the limits are. Species? Jack or Cottontail? Are there any regulations on rifle vs shotgun.. How to...

    Taxidermy supply shortage?

    I gotta find a way to put the pressure on without being a jerk. He's got my money and my son's pig. I'll probably call him next week and offer to help him source the jaw sets. He didn't strike me as internet savvy, as he's a bit long in the tooth.. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

    Taxidermy supply shortage?

    I knew this was coming.... Dropped off my son's boar head last February to a taxidermist here in SoCal who I won't name, because I don't want to unfairly slander a guy.. he seemed a bit disorganized and more in the business of talking taxidermy and bragging about his accomplishments than...

    Getting the daughter a gun

    bought my son a Savage Rascal for his first gun, had to learn to use the peep sight and eventually got him a scope. They'll outgrow em quick, and then my daughter got to use it, and she loves it.. but she'd about outgrown it now. Only problem with the Savage Rascal's is a firing pin issue...

    Hunting near ski areas in NF

    Funny... I've been looking for an answer to campgrounds in the regs. Angeles National Forest website and others says the same thing as the state law but they add "occupied campsite" or just campsite. I'm looking for where that actually comes from.. because they don't site a source. Paco, I'm...

    Anyone do a European Mount?

    I've done the boiling and recently did a coyote skull via the burying it method.. Burying it gave the skull some brown color that was tough to get out (and since it was a coyote it was not a priority to get it perfect).. I'd do the simmer method personally, it's a bit of work here and there but...

    Hawaii hunt help

    Hunt Fish Kauai - they got crossbow and archery pig hunts if I recall correctly. Fantastic reviews, and I did a fishing trip with them. I'd recommend it to anyone and I'll likely go back to hunt pigs at some point.

    Youth shotgun advice

    Hey there, Been dealing with this with my daughter.. Already dealt with it for my son.. They grow quickly. For my son, I started with a Stevens single shot 410.. light, short, easy to practice with - however the ammo is pricey at times and not the best for hunting in the hands of a kid Then he...

    trading ammo?

    I have long wondered this.. Most of the wording in the law relates to sales, but one section is more broad ... (b) Commencing January 1, 2018, the sale, delivery, or transfer of ownership of ammunition by any party may only occur in a face-to-face transaction with the seller, deliverer, or...

    looking for shooting targets

    I'd order the plates and fashion small frames out of 2x4s with a small amount of space around the gong so you don't blast up your wood.. but depending on how you build it, replacing a small section or 2x4 for errant shots would be cheap and easy

    Pocket Knife

    I've grown into being a knife hoarder of sorts... I've owned Cold Steel, Boker, Buck, Benchmade, etc. I've recently (last couple of years) been collecting Kershaw speedsafe knives. Big5 will have em on their "one day" email sales flyers from time to time, for about $24 bucks. Some of em sell...

    AO tag question

    no worries, some states are simpler or clearer in their laws and wording. Sometimes I think California intentionally makes things difficult/convoluted. Good luck!

    AO tag question

    I'm sure it's because the harvest reports/ tags are standardized. Everyone gets the same piece of paper to fill out. Otherwise they'd have to create a different form for each of the specific hunts. Also. If any AO tag was good for buck or doe, what would the point be in having the A series...

    Looking for apprentice tag help!

    Never heard of that, and we're not quite there yet thank goodness. No official diagnosis on the cause of his pain, everything is pointing to autoimmune disorder (lupus, etc.) after countless tests and MRI's, xrays. We're still holding out hope it gets diagnosed so treatment might begin. He's...

    Looking for apprentice tag help!

    Hey guys, I've been a lurker on here for a little while, amazed at how much info there is to soak up here.. I'm so new to hunting I have little to contribute, and enjoy learning from your guys' stories/advice to each other. The long and short of it is, my son got an apprentice tag for D11 -...
