Unique California Blacktail and Thoughts

[Huntin' Fool]

Making plans to be there July 8th for the 9th opener. Got about 10 days to hunt.

Anybody else going?

I little more rain in the hunt area would be nice.

Quite a bit of rain nation wide is forecasted for the next 7 days.

I hope to get out and take my bow for a walk. For me it's a great way to get in better shape for fall.

What an awesome story and very cool buck. I grew up in CA and moved to Montana a few years ago. I love the hunting opportunities here in Montana, but I often find myself really missing the hunts CA has to offer. I hope to get back into the northern B zone country in search for blacktails and bears in the coming years.

2022 California deer tags available otc.

Any B zone and A zone far north, D3-5. Not sure about other D zones. Buy a bear tag - high success. No spring season, no dogs allowed, lots of bear, generally not that wary.

Not going to make the A zone July 9th opener, sometime later hopefully.

Like when the deer aren’t prone to spontaneous combustion upon impact? . 108 in NorCal this weekend! Even the yellowjackets are packing hydro flasks!

I discovered an area at 3200' on a north slope that stays cooler. Afternoon ocean breeze most days. East side of the A zone is hotter. Haven't archery hunted it since 2008.

A zone - Tomorrow is the archery opener. Not go to make it. Good chance of being there Aug 13th for the rifle.

Anybody going?
