    Where Does One Go To Learn About Regulations?

    Yes. I have a tag for D15. It looks like its good for both Archery and Rifle season. Is this correct? If it is, I plan to take the bow while scouting, on the off chance an opportunity present itself. Then, during the General Season, I'll start carrying my rifle. Is this what others do?

    Where Does One Go To Learn About Regulations?

    Thanks for all the advice. I downloaded the regulations and have begun to work my way through them. I should be able to do that before deer season.

    Where Does One Go To Learn About Regulations?

    I am new to hunting. It seems like every time I talk to an experienced hunter the other person assumes I know a lot. For instance, I didn't know until I went to the San Jacinto Wildlife Area cleanup that one can't have more than 3 shots in their shotgun. Another example, I didn't know until I...

    Volunteer Workdays / Blind Brush Up Days Set for San Jacinto Wildlife Area, Saturday, July 22nd, and Saturday, August 19th.

    Call me crazy, but I'll go back on August 19th. I'm not a duck hunter but it was a good time and it helps the community.

    I got bit by the bug

    I can’t deny that it’s tempting. The length of hunt vs. available funds would be the limiting factor. I might be able to pull off a day, maybe two, but there’s no way I could afford a week.

    I got bit by the bug

    I can make a cow look an awful lot like that but I don’t have the same experience with deer. Looks super clean btw, nice work.

    I've added a bow to my equipment but I don't know how to edit my About page. It's a PSE Omen, currently set at 50lbs. Training should bring that up to around 70lbs.

    I got bit by the bug

    I think I'm pretty well set up. I need to mount and zero a scope but I have everything on hand. I've been spending some time in San Mateo Wilderness (D15). I've been calling it scouting but I'm mostly trying to get into shape so that I can actually do scouting. I haven't found the deer yet...

    I got bit by the bug

    Quick question… I have 2 Deer Tags one for D15 and the other for D16. Now I’m concerned about my ability to find a respectable take. I’m considering a guide but I don’t have a lot of money. …The question (a two parter): Primarily, what should a guide cost? And secondarily, what should I...

    ONX Hunt Elite Membership

    It seemed like the right thing to do. I also received a tree stand and a couple backpacks that I don't intend to use. I will be offering those for sale at some point but it seemed right to pass on the onX key. Plus... I wasn't at 20 posts then, but I am now. ;-)

    ONX Hunt Elite Membership

    Not entirely sure. I went straight for the Elite when I was signing up because there was a discount that made the Elite and standard the same cost. This is a menu that may be unique to Elite but I can't be sure

    ONX Hunt Elite Membership

    I entered the Eberlestock Spring Time Archery Giveaway in the early part of May. I was selected as the grand prize winner. One of the prizes in the package is an Elite Membership to OnX. I already have an Elite Membership and the code doesn't work for me. I am offering this code for free on...

    CALIFORNIA DRAW RESULTS!!!

    I only applied for one draw choice. D16. I was confident that I would get it, and I did. I've been studying the maps for about a week. This weekend is consumed by Ham Radio activities but I may go out next weekend and have a looksee. Maybe. drop the wife off in Julian and go explore from...

    Newbie Question about Preference Points

    I opted for D16 as my first tag. I don’t have any points to burn, so I figured, why not. I’ll pull D15 or G10 closer to the season depending on whether I can get access to the base, or not. I applied for the other game mammals but hold little hope of getting any of them.

    Newbie Question about Preference Points

    Thanks again for the reply. I'm not an active Marine but I do have a 60% service connected disability rating from the VA. I believe this may grant me access to the base, but I need to confirm and get that ball rolling. I'll use the number you supplied, it looks like a good place to start...

    Newbie Question about Preference Points

    Thanks for the info. I don’t expect to get elk, antelope, or sheep for the next 20 years but I wanted to make sure I wasn’t locked into an area. For deer, I’m thinking D16 first, then D15, then Camp Pendleton (G11?). I still don’t know if I’ll have access to the base come hunting season.
