    What a great time at Sutherland

    A bit of a late post about the hunt last wednesday, but had a great time out at Sutherland. For a city boy, seeing a sky filled with stars is definitely a rare occurrence, and a clear sky at 0330 out there was amazing. Robert and I got set up and ready to go around 0500, listed to the spring...

    (Call to Action) Don’t let greedy outfitters ruin a great opportunity

    Hey all, As you know, CA legislature is seeking to turn pigs from a game animal (requiring a tag per hog) to an exotic and turn it into a validation (much like out beloved turkeys, ducks, and upland birds). It would be very cheap to get the validation and you’d be able to hog hunt without a tag...

Taking the...

    A newbies journey to find a hunting spot: Volume II

    Got back into the field yesterday! For those of you who saw my previous thread, I’d been held back by so much lately. Needing new boots, needing to exchange those boots, F-ed up paperwork leading to a delay of picking up my rifle, rain, work, and gear failures. Yesterday, before dawn I made my...

    Recommendations wanted - First rod+reel

    So since the best scouting times for big game tend to be morning and night (especially here in hot ass Los Angeles) I figured Id take up fishing to keep me outside and occupied during the afternoons or during the days I cant make it to the mountains. I am mainly after bass (small and large...

    Headed out for the first time this week

    Finally, my .308 is out of CA gun jail, the rain has stopped, my new boots have been delivered, and my rifle scope has been zeroed. Picked up the Savage Axis .308 from jail a few days ago, headed promptly to the range down the street from the store with my old man and got her sighted in. Took...
