A veteran ranger, at the dove opener, told me most guys coming in now have never hunted or fished. He said, "it's like becoming a CHP when you hate driving!"

Fly fishing for bluegills is methadone; but really fun. They pull hard on a little 3 wt. I also have a 9 wt I use in the surf and bays. Try catching a halibut or ray on the fly and you not look at an 8" trout the same. But drifting a caddis over the surface film will always be the ultimate.

There are a number of creeks and ponds in the Angeles and San Bernadino National Forest. I have explored a handful. To find them I use this site from DFG https://map.dfg.ca.gov/fishing/ and this book, which is getting kind of old...

Holy Christmas Antlers Batman!

Joseph-Thanks for finding us. What you are doing is amazing and sorely needed. It can be very hard to find exact boundaries of BLM, NFS, etc. I have used your map extensively and will certainly check out your new project. What are your long term goals for the project? Thank you!

Hey man, did you come and go from San Diego? Manage to find any hunting?

Well done man. What's the set-up you got her? Also, you live death valley? Jeez what a moon-scape.

Don I need to speak with you about your cave. Urgently. Your liver is in danger! I can help.

Nice. Did you eat the coots?

I shot my first teal this weekend too. I plucked it because I read they are awesome whole roasted. How was the fat on yours? Mine has a beautiful 1/4" thick layer of creamy white fat; can't wait to roast it with some potatoes!

Beautiful bird! Green winged teal, right?

Nice!

Yeah...I am realizing this issue might be species specific. Funny you mention fish. I was on a boat and we limited on YT in Mexico. When we hit CA they said, "Everyone with a CA license can catch 5 more YT." But then later I was on another boat, and they said it was illegal to fish CA and Mex in...

I'm naive, but I have delusions of trying to use as much as the animal as possible. Here are the specific things I'm thinking. Feel free to tell me where I'm wrong/crazy. 1) With store ducks the fat and the skin are the best part. Probably the wild ones don't usually have much fat; maybe never...

You can never know the true measure of a man until you've seen him walk through a spiderweb at night.

I'm going water fowling this weekend for the first time. Three days of whacking birds at the Colorado River. What are your favorite ways to dress, process, and cook waterfowl?

That's a California Trapdoor Spider. Fairly rare. The males come out in the first rain to search for mates. http://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/spiders/Bothriocyrtum%20californicum.htm http://www.insectidentification.org/insect-description.asp?identification=California-Trapdoor-Spider
