    First Build

    I didn't put a smiley after the link, so for those who don't know my humor, that link was intended to be a joke, and not a true endorsement ;D

    First Build

    I think the only truly good reason to do .300 blk is for subsonic builds, but you can't buy a suppressor in CA. If not going suppressed, then 7.62x39 is cheaper to buy, and performs better, IIRC. Anyway, the options are endless. My advice is that you think long and hard about what you want to...

    School me on hunting San Jacinto CA...moving there next month.

    I believe they open the areas at the refuge there for dove hunting. I've hunted ducks at the refuge a few times. Some of the areas (including, but not limited to the E blinds) are too deep to wade, and you will need your dog to retrieve the birds. There are lots of complaints about skybusters...

    Bonehead move

    My first season bowhunting, I borrowed a friend's bow. While sighting in/practicing, I dry-fired it. Like you, I was looking for the arrow in the target, and trying to figure out what happened. I took the bow in, and the limbs were fractured. Wouldn't you know it, that bow was no longer in...

    Pig hunting public lands SoCal or central cal

    Primitive weapons. I haven't hunted there in a handful of years, but they had 3 primitive weapons areas. One was on the North side, I think, and was archery-only. Another, in the South (by Lake San Antonio? or whatever it's called), seems to be the more popular, and I think you can use...

    WTB WANTED cheap single shot or over under break 20 or 12 shotgun

    You could probably pick one up on Gunbroker.com pretty cheap. I did a quick search for "single shot 12", and came up with a bunch. This one ends tomorrow, and you could probably get it for less than $100: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=417876296

    Pig hunting public lands SoCal or central cal

    It's probably not all that close to you, but for public land pigs, Fort Hunter Liggett is about as good as it gets. The primitive weapons areas tend to be best, if I'm not mistaken. At least, those are the only areas (besides closed zones!) where I've seen pigs there. You will also see elk...

    wanted backpacking equipment

    You've received some very good replies so far. I will add a few things that I have used and liked: 1. Snow Peak Giga with piezo starter (pocket stove). 2. Consider your cookware carefully. I've gone through a couple versions, but for my last trip, I found a new system. You can get titanium...

    Backpacking trip?

    For clarification, I should state that my buck pictured above was NOT from D11 (X12), I just wanted to encourage people not to be afraid to put on a pack and walk the distance, even if it means going alone. For that buck, I walked 7 miles. The terrain wasn't difficult at all, really, it was just...

    Backpacking trip?

    I don't know what the area's like, but short of if being overrun with mountain lions or pot growers, I'd say don't be afraid to get out there, even if you have to go alone. Be safety-conscious, of course, but I've done solo trips before, and I'll do it again. It gets creepy at times, especially...

    off season project #2 hexacopter

    In Colorado, I think you might even be able to collect a bounty on it.

    Adventure Pass nixed for visitors who hike, bike into Southern California forest

    I read a while back that the Forestry Service was told by Congress that they could NOT charge people for using the forests, other than at certain areas like campgrounds and picnic areas that require maintenance, or something like that. They are in violation, and they're going to do everything...

    night hunting?

    I recently started taking some buddies out night hunting. We've seen eyes looking back at us EVERY time we've gone, often from the moment we turn the lights on. One of these buddies and I did a little calling the night before the start of general D16, and we had something (I think a bobcat)...

    Hunting Vehicles?

    I started my hunting in a 1984 Nissan Sentra station wagon with a 1.6 liter 4 cyl engine. I drove that until I replaced it with a '93 Jeep Wrangler with a straight 6 auto- now that was nice! Then, I went to a 92 Cherokee. Currently, a 94 Tacoma 2wd 4cyl. I miss my 4WD!!! :-[

    Weird encounters while out in the field

    Back in October 2003, I think, my brother and I were walking through the woods in Mt. Laguna, deer hunting. I looked up the hill, and between the trees, I saw something about knee-height, long (3 feet?), and dark (almost black) walking through the grass. My brother didn't see it. I only caught a...

    Local Trainers?

    Professional training will cost you somewhere in the neighborhood of $700 (plus birds, etc.) per month. 5 years ago, I bought my first dog, also a chocolate lab. It's not about the color of the dog's coat, it's the drive, trainability, desire to please, etc., in the dog that will make or break...
