Dig deep. Those beautiful canyons hold amazing treasure.

No I read the vice report from 2012ish about gun smuggling. Also about the serial killer spree based on the belief in the blood atonement, killing of the unpure or non mormons in the 70s through the 90s they named the mexican charles manson group.The Romneys are uncle brother cousins that came from the compound back to the US.

Its sad what happened. But for them to call for gun control when they openly admitted to smuggling guns into mexico to defend themselves just so they could live in a polygamist inbred lifestyle has been kept out of the mainsteam reports. Nobody should kill women and children and the cartels are disgusting animals the USA has refused to deal with.

So my future wifes grandfather owns a ranch in zacatecas mexico and he has deer and possibly bighorn sheep on his land. I know i need a firearm permit and all that but my number one question is how can i hunt future family land without paying a mexican licensed guide and be able to hunt by myself down south on his ranch. The language barrier is hard to get answers from the grandfather so that is why i am asking. Thank you for the responses and experienced info.

Is the book worth the 50-60 dollar price tag? Would love to read it.

Had an amazing two day hunt with my son Strad on the youth multi unit deer hunt. We spent the whole opening day working some pinion juniper country in 19a and saw some does but also found an incredible amount of trash and dead animals laying just about everywhere we stopped. Sat water that evening and decided on the way home we would hit the pines in another area and check out some areas the forest service had done some clearing in. About an hour after sunrise we saw a group of 5 bucks and tried to put the stalk on but had a real hard time due to all the shreaded bushes from the clearing had made it almost impossible to stalk without making to much noise. The deer moved through the clear area and back into the thick oaks on the hillsides. Frustrated we headed towards a tank I knew of on a closed road hoping to find water. About 200 yards before we came into sight of the tank I saw a doe browsing along below us. I told Strad we should loop around the hill so the doe won't spot us and give us away if there are other deer below. No sooner had we turned around when we heard the clatter of hooves running in the trees behind us. I pull up my binoculars and spot three deer behind a large gator bark 60 yards away. I can see the bodies but not the heads. They were milling around behind the tree and I was able to see that all three were bucks but all I could see was the base of the horns on each buck. Strad had no shot because they were standing one behind the other. We got down as low as we could and watched them for about 3 minutes. They were watching us back. For some reason that I'm greatful for, the lead buck decided to step out from behind the tree instead of sneaking off behind it. As soon as he hit the open and vitals were showing I was able to get the first part of the word shoot out when I heard the gun go off and the buck hit the dirt. He tried to get back up but fell back and never moved again. We gave each other hugs and high fives. Strad had just harvested his first big game animal. We gutted and dragged him the 1/2 mile back to the truck and were back in chino by 1030.

They still issue peaks only tags. They are just not in the limited opp. Section and they reduced the size of the hunt area and tag numbers etc.

It was West Virginia

Patience! Gotta give him time to bondo a couple racks together and find a red stag cape to put it all together.

Didn't arizona give them a bunch of elk few years ago or was that Kentucky?

Check the info on the ticket thoroughly. Anything filled out wrong on a ticket will result in it being dismissed.

Awesome, congratulations! You are gonna need a bigger trophy room soon.

Congratulations!! Nice buck!

Thanks Brandon. Can't wait to see pictures of you and your son when its his turn!! Luckily my future father in law gave me a chest freezer a few weeks ago. We have been very blessed. One thing that gets me though is all the non hunting meat eaters you know always want some deer or elk when you tag out. I share with my hunting buddies when they have had a dry year. But I cant bring myself to share with the ones who never hunt.

If anybody with the same youth tag is having a hard time finding deer I am willing to point them in a general direction without giving away a honey hole.

That is his full name. Named after a freind I have known since we could crawl. I actually met my sons mother at one of his birthday parties.

Gotcha. Didnt realize it was a once and done tag like bighorn. Good luck.

Squirrel, waterfowl seasons open Friday, Oct. 4
Explorer replied to Outdoor Writer's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
After the housing boom started about 20 years ago the quail hunting and hunting in general has become tougher. Places i could go and limit out in are littered with shotgun shells and a few extremely spooked birds. You can find them just gotta go deeper -
What are your thoughts on taking a smaller bull than your expectations come last day?

Its going to be some amazing hunting grounds in the next few years

Forest service extended the fire closure from october 1st to october 24th. All of 17b from williamson valley rd west along campwood rd to the yolo ranch is still closed. Only about a mile of the north side of fair oaks is open. Alot of good country that is untouched by the fire is in the closure area. Im not sure why the forest service closed so much off. Good luck and post pictures!!
