California C zone success
You are correct, I was on the other side of I-5 from Stonyford. I was just driving back to the east bay through Clear Lake. I would love to do some hunting in the clear lake area, just need to find the time! -
How Do Y'all Do It!
Great corgi! I would take mine with me, but I would never see any game as he loves to chase things just a little too much, haha -
California C zone success
One last addendum. This year was definitely my most exciting hunting in CA (including helping my buddy on his G6 hunt a couple years ago). And it wouldnt be appropriate to end with just a successful hunt. On the way home, driving from Williams to Clear Lake, the transmission in my car decided... -

Now for the story of the new hunters. I met one of the new hunters at a bachelor party in Colombia (which is a whole nother story!). He learned I was a hunter and asked if he could go with me this year. Of course, I said yes and guided him through the application process (we will call him B)... -
California C zone success
Thanks everyone! It was nice to have some success finally and feel like I am starting to learn a little more about hunting in CA. Dang, that is a lot of deer! I was not around in those days, but I have heard the tales. My wife went to Chico State. We met in Chico while I was working at SNBC. -

California C zone success
Fall is generally busy for me with work (trips for hop harvest, etc.), and with California's somewhat early seasons where I like to hunt it can be difficult to find time to get out there. This year was no different in that regard. What was different, was this year I had two new hunters who asked... -
Homebrewing
As a couple other folks have mentioned, you will probably have to build your own. 62-65 is pretty good, but even more control is better. My favorite builds are old chest freezers with a temperature control device (this website has a good build and links to more on electronics...- birdman27

Homebrewing
Not a home-brewer (anymore) but I am a professional brewer (R&D) for a larger craft brewery out West and I teach a brewing course. A wort chiller would be good and then I would invest in everything you can to control your fermentation. The brew house is the sexy stuff, but good beer is made with...- birdman27

California Vacation
I agree with Healdsburg over Sonoma or Napa Valley. The Dry Creek and Russian River areas are my favorite to go tasting (I live in Sonoma County). If you are looking for something specific as far as wine tasting, I can help with some recommendations. You should definitely also pop over to the...- birdman27

Really?
From conversations I have had on other forums, the idea of a cooling off period only rarely works. Usually, if someone is going to be a jagaloon no amount of time is going to fix that. However, if it works only a little of the time, I would think it is worthwhile and in general a solid policy to...- birdman27
