Hey guys I'm new to hunting big game. I've hunted dove and quail before but I have 1 season of hunting big game experience last year in d7. Seen alot of doe and one spike but that's it. Moved down here to the santa clarita and gorman area right next to hungry valley park. I'm looking to learn and anyone interested in teaching or sharing experience. I'm getting a little late start but going to start scouting this weekend the d 13 area starting out by kings campground to the west and just exploring. Any tips or info about the area would be helpful or even a better spot to start I have drove the little area before around it but havent been to far in just looked on google maps. It's close to where I'm at maybe a 30 45 minute drive but if anyone is interested in sha re ing or showing me around I'm up for a drive or some hiking. Thank you all

Ya I started scouting the area im going to do some hiking in next week just started using the onx kaos since I no longer have my garmin handheld. Alot of good information in here though hopefully I see some signs and get some pics
Not really. I usually end up heading out alone. Went today for a morning hunt...got one jack and five quails.
Nice I will prob go up during the week for a day and possibly through the weekend for a day or two havent had any luck but want to get some quail when I get a opportunity only ate it once but really liked it. Let me know if you want to meet up sometime
For sure...I really like that area. Lets hook up and get out there soon. I'll PM you.

As suspected..22 more buck kills in D16 last year, Cant wait to see this years stats!!!...I'm hitting that place next season for sure!!...I know guy down there , says he,ll show me where the bucks are at! Gonna be a blood bath.
LOL I am sure you will.
I guess it's taking me a little while longer to figure out the Sweet spot again. No secret lots of hiking. Less hunters.
