Re: ((((Big ))))) Local Buck Down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Outstanding!!!! That is a magnificent buck. Couldn't go to a more deserving hunter as you have been after him for so long. I doubt anyone will be able to top this buck. Prediction: Winner! Unless Lungpopper can pull a rabbit out of...

Yep. I second that.

That sucks that the DFG has cameras up. So much for being alone in the woods. Baiting...so unnecessary. Certainly not worth the risk.

Shoulder mounts: You may be right. I haven't been to L&O in several years but last time I checked they were $300 bones more.

I posted this as a reply on another thread and BuckHunter asked me to move it up here. (BTW - My mother told me never to talk about politics or religion, but I never was a very good listener.) From Santiago's "Suggestions Please" thread: Personally I'd like to hear more about the local...

Okay.

Not always NBK. My oldest daughter took at 26 lb. tom with a 12" beard several years ago. We took it in to L&O and I was disappointed. I paid a lot more to get the best and didn't get it. My two muley shoulder mounts from them are top notch. Are they worth $300 more than Mike's mounts...

I like Mile Berry in Pine Valley. He's done most of my mounts and we have been very happy with the service.

I totally agree. As a lefty I found the Mathews just feels better in my hand. Better balance too.

Another white buck ehh! Don't you just hate that. At least your camera is still there.

Nice deer...great story. I've never had much luck rattling. Maybe its time to dust of my rattling horns? Congrats guys.

That is large. Looks like they're hunters for life. Give them my congrats! Makes me jealous that we don't have bucks like that running around here.

Actually, I see more and bigger bucks in the late season. They're just wayyyyy harder to hunt.

Ridge lines: Yes, stay up high and glass down with a spotting scope...if you have one. Do not drop into the canyon until you spot a buck. You need to take avantage of the view and let your optics do the hiking initially. During the day look for bedded bucks in the shade. Please see the...

Just a few differences but a lot of similarities too. 1. Both use there big three senses (smell, site and hearing) about the same. White tails have a more sensitive nose, muleys have more sensitive site and hearing. 2. Both are very sensitive to motion but whitetails more so. 3. When you're...

The green spot strategy works best in dry years. With all the water this year the deer are really spread out. Now's the time to focus on does and acorns.

Great post CaliCreole. You are on it now. Stay on the narrow course and you'll do well. Welcome to the forum.

Personally I'd like to hear more about the local politics of hunting in this area. I'm sick of the anti's walking all over us outdoor folks and would like to see some more dialog from hunters about our rights and what we plan to DO about asserting ourselves into the political scene. Here's a...

Buy the way...this buck was killed in the same spot where my trail camera got the pic of the lion back in August. Its mostly steep hills and tall oaks in that spot so the bucks don't get as much sunlight on their horns.

TB, I wish it were true. We seem to have a ton of deer that fall a little short of mega buck status. There's always 2 or 3 out there every year but they usually don't show themselves until late in the rut and don't like to come out in the daylight much either.
