Nothing in my neck of the woods - deer anyway. One 'yote (just out of range) and a handful of dove.

Re: D11/A31 archery opener update

Im sure the bucks are doing their typical early season thing, all bachelor'd up. I personally love later end of the season. The hunters dwindle and the deer start to mingle. Give it time.

Re: D11/A31 archery opener update

went out to D11 thursday morning to check out a new spot that a friend saw a few bucks running last week...got there at daylight and got to high grounds and started glassing.....at around 11:30 i spotted a deer about 400yds, looked harder and it was a nice big forky..by the time a got the rifle up the deer walked into the thickets..i waited awhile for him to come out but he never did...sooo i decided to go after him...i hiked down to where i thought he might be and snooped around...alot of thick brush and poodle dog everywhere...got to vantage points and still no buck...ended up givin up on him for the day...now i am covered in rash from head to toe..i thought i kept away from the PDB but i guess not....itching all over and ended up at the doctors today ...hope it goes away fast.....till my next report...happy hunting and say away from the PDB...!!!!

Bummer. I was in thick poison oak last week in the creek bottom, but kept covered and then put everything through the wash when I got home. Got away Scott free. Lucky.

Poodle brush is a bitch! After the fire that stuff exploded. Have you thought about using a tree stand or ground blind.

Hint hint

OK, you got me........ ;D........After 66 years of hunting in SoCal. I've never heard of "Poodle Brush"........Nickname for poison oak or stinging nettle?
