    Where do you put ‘em?

    Tenzig make a nice upland game vest although a little pricey. I have a Browning Bird N Light upland game vest. It has a huge game pocket. I've held 6 jackrabbits in it. Although it was a little stuffed. Lots of pockets and very adjustable. You're able to carry over a gallon of water in it...

Works great. 3-9×40. BDC reticle. I don't know if they are still made. I heard Nikon was going to stop...

    Quick Jackrabbit Hunt

    OnX is your friend. Jackrabbits are all over the desert. Just like any animal on land or in water they will be found by shelter, food and water. Unlike other game, they aren't as water dependent. They will get what they need in the vegetation they eat. So they can be found in very dry places...

    Quick Jackrabbit Hunt

    I am very fortunate to live about 5 minutes from an upland game honey hole. About 24 thousand acres of good BLM land that is adjacent to the San Bernardino National Forest. I got a late start to my day, arrived to the hunt area around 11:30 am. I've been trying to get my good friend Mike into...

    Hi I'm New Here, High Desert Jackrabbit Hunt

    Ventura, Santa Barbara, Thousand Oaks is a huge area. Not really familiar with the hunting possibilities in those areas. A lot of private land, not much huntable public land. The high desert is full of rabbits. Check BLM maps/OnX app. This guy was taken this morning 5 minutes from my house.

    Shotshell reloading

    I reload with the Lee Load-All. The bushings are not very good at all for non lead shot. So I just hand weigh all powder and shot. Yes it takes way longer but I know my shells are safe and within spec per reloading manuals. Hornady makes an inexpensive digital scale that works fine.
