Nice work! Doesn’t get much better than that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks ilovesprig for advocating. Hate it that politics gets into everything including a few days outdoors to hunt. Agree with voting red. Mad that just as my oldest gets old enough to do the youth pheasant hunt it gets cancelled due to ridiculous legislation. Folks like Jim Desmond and Brian...

We did! Top notch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks all. ilovesprig I took the advice on the Drake 3-1, and settled on some Rodgers waders. Snake Charmer I think this gave me the waterfowl bug, I can tell the gear purchases are already testing relationship strength, ha. Mild weather, but stayed warm the whole time. So much fun! Sent...

Definitely won’t be by boat. Rice fields and supposedly they should not be flooded at the time we are there. Not sure yet whether pit blind or lay down. I was the filler spot for a party and all of our first time to the area. The sense I get from the outfit that we booked through was there are...

Thanks ilovesprig . Helps to here an expert opinion and I was thinking I might get more mileage out of the muck boots throughout the year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doing a late Jan hunt in NorCal for specks. Have been upland up to this point so looking for recommendations on basics that don’t break the bank. Hunt is in rice fields, and don’t think they will be flooded at that time, but probably a good chance of rain. Buddies said waders are a nice to...

Thank you @Kellendv !

I’m new to the draw system. I’ve seen a few mentions of selecting D16 as a second choice if selecting a point (PD) for the first choice. The big game digest says you can select a restricted or unrestricted tag for a second choice but does not say a premium tag (D16) Am I reading this correct...

Papadeuce Nevermind. I see they dropped the updated big game digest in today. Shoulda looked at that first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Papadeuce where are you able to lookup what zones are premium this year? I figured I had until April 2nd to see, and have checked periodically on the CDFW site for 2021 licenses and drawing info to pop up. I think it is based on speed of sales from the prior year but I wasn’t able to find that...

Thanksilovesprig for a great event today! It was a ton of fun. Appreciate all the hard work making it happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is awesome news! I couldn’t see on the attached flyer, but is there any pre-registration or just show up on event day with the admission fee? Thanks again for all the hard work. I can only imagine the efforts to keep this going this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks ilovesprig . I’ve been burning some gas each time I’m out chasing quail trying to figure out the Euros. Getting more familiar with the valley each trip and hoping to put it all together to have an occasional shoot in the off season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great work! Looks like a ton of fun. Question for the pros. Do they tend to move throughout the day like mourning doves or if they have a good setup do they just roost where they have feed, water, etc.? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last few years I’ve headed to IV for dove and quail. Hit some Euros while shooting mourning doves, but never seem to find a big concentration of them like some folks talk about (with the exception of some guys front yard next to a small feedlot, or the parking lot of the hotel). Any...

Thanks sdolan617 . I’m definitely paying more attention to burns now. I think I originally thought it was more relevant to deer, and the quail wouldn’t care as much. Reality set in that I gotta get myself moved through the same terrain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ha! I can imagine how that discussion with CDFW would work out for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Wildgame . I am definitely guilty of pulling up to a spot and immediately getting out of the vehicle. I have checked out images from the AllTrails app, but hadn’t even thought about some of the stuff posted to google maps. I’m going to give that a try. And I quickly learned to...

I’m new to the forum and have only been getting into upland birds the past 3 seasons. So far I’ve gotten more familiar with Imperial Valley for Dove/Quail, and called in a Tom in CNF but he managed to keep cover between us so I never got the shot. My question is on scouting within CNF for...
