    Grizzzzz in the Frank

    I've talked to a rancher whose family has owned a ranch for generations surrounded by the Frank and he said the grizzlies never left.

    Unique California Blacktail and Thoughts

    I generally don't spend much time in the A zones, mostly because I'm from and have spent a lifetime in the B zones. The heat can be a killer that's for sure. I have hunted the B4 zone which starts earlier than other B zones and heat is a problem unless you are right on the coast - which is where...

    Missouri Breaks float trip bird hunt

    I've noticed that there is a large variation in upland game populations from year to year. I went 3 years in a row - floated it twice and jet boated the last time. Every trip was in early November so others will have more experience. None were dedicated upland trips, we were primarily deer...

    Unique California Blacktail and Thoughts

    You bring up some good points. It is worth pointing out that you will have to work for whatever game you are pursuing if you come here. I don't know of any DIY western public land hunt that is a slam dunk. I don't want to imply it's going to be easy if you do come here and try to hunt blacktail...

    Unique California Blacktail and Thoughts

    That’s precisely my point. I wish I could understand why people will travel across the country for a Coues or even a turkey but Columbian blacktail deer will always be the redheaded step-father of mule deer that us west coasters are stuck with. Maybe it’s the short 2 month long season (archery...

    Unique California Blacktail and Thoughts

    Truthfully, I’d drive north further. If you can kill bucks (bigger than a fork) on public consistently every year in Southern California, you are my hero. I’ve thought about getting a tag down there but haven’t wanted to punish myself that much.

    Unique California Blacktail and Thoughts

    It looks like a couple of them you preserved the velvet? Archery? Them are some hog archery bucks if so. My best friend is a better archery shot than I am, so when we stalked into the the biggest buck I’ve ever seen- I said he should take the shot. His rangefinder said 60 yards and mine said 35...

    Unique California Blacktail and Thoughts

    I’ll bite. A few things… I said certain areas are worth it. Which is true in most every state. I specifically mentioned that we do not offer elk opportunities, residents will never draw; forget about pronghorn or sheep. But what we DO have is big blacktail deer. If you want to kill a big...

    Unique California Blacktail and Thoughts

    As much as I’d like to continue to keep it to myself I think California needs more supporters. The deer could use more attention because despite managers best efforts there is still a decent population of deer in certain areas.

    The buck was completely just icing on the cake. It’s about the friends. I’d like to tell the story of my buddy Blake, hopefully somewhere along the line he sees this. He is from the East and moved to CA several years ago for work, he lives in an apartment in big city San Diego but his roots...

    Unique California Blacktail and Thoughts

    In the past I've been hesitant to post stories because someone inevitably accuses you of spot burning. Fact is I could give you the coordinates to my deer and bear spots and you probably won't hunt there. I also would like to go on record and be the advocate for California hunting. We get a...

    Video: Ideal Backpack Hunting Gear Setup

    Thanks Derek. I’ll be making some more videos but it might have to wait until after turkey season. A note on being out of shape… I definitely haven’t lost my entire Covid-50 lbs. I know guys that look like they are in good shape and huff and puff up mountains and give up. Meanwhile, I have...

    Video: Ideal Backpack Hunting Gear Setup

    Hahaha, what more could you want? This is my list for when I want to backpack in luxury. It definitely can get more primitive than this.

    Video: Ideal Backpack Hunting Gear Setup

    I made a video of my backpack hunting gear. I've been through a lot of gear and I'm quite happy with my current setup so I wanted to share with folks. There are similar videos out there with backpacking setups but I feel like they have something to sell, are sponsored, or some other bias. I have...

    Equipment questions

    I see you are planning to pack the elk out on your backs. I see similar posts pretty often so now I'm going to take the bait. I think you've been given good advice regarding boots and packs but just keep in mind that it's going to be absolutely miserable packing out no matter what you do. I...

    Switching Dog Breeds

    I'm actually starting to video document the training of my pups from nearly start and through to finish, so it will be a couple year process. Maybe I can post some of the content on Hunttalk as I go along and find the time to go through it.

    Planning for an Eastern Montana mule deer hunt

    I didn’t read every response. But here’s my thoughts from a non-resident to Montana, who has hunted Eastern Montana for Mule Deer. I feel like there is plenty of bucks, yes they don’t seem to get very big. Despite the cost and lack of big bucks my hunting party are planning to go back this year...

    Switching Dog Breeds

    I have not personally had a Drahthaar but I’ve trained with them and I’ve watched them work and I’ve seen enough to know it’s what I want… Need. It’s the dog I’m looking most forward to. I also have been to the VDD Hunt Test and I’ve never seen a dog work the water like this one particular DD...

    Arizona - Worth the wait/cost?

    I debate this with myself all the time. I'm entrenched in almost all the Western states. I'd really like to get out of the longterm point building game for things that take more than a lifetime. Fact is, I have plenty of enjoyment hunting over-the-counter and easier to draw units. Heck I could...
