    Another one down in D15

    Thanks, I broke it pretty much all the way down, but brought the majority of it out. Once I had it broken down and back on on the pack, it was just a slow walk out, real slow and ran through a lot of water. Reminded me of being in the USMC with a large size loaded ALICE pack on, I slipped once...

    Another one down in D15

    I took a nice buck out of D15 yesterday, not a monster but a good size. I was out at 0400 on the trail and hiking in, I had a great idea were the couple of buck I was looking for were so I moved into a predetermined spot by about 0630. For some reason they have a fondness for this little...

    Cooler on a budget

    While it may be expensive the Pelican 65qt comes with a lifetime warranty, while the yeti doesn't. I have seen them at Costco once or twice. People have pelican case for years, I have had them for a long time for guns and cameras, anytime I need to talk to customer service it's a joy. Plus...

    Didn't see squat today.

    Sorry, to post a location. The problem with the Trabuco District is there are only a few trails into certain areas, the trail I mentioned is about 8 mi long one way, and its just a jumping off point like most of the roads and trails. Most people know all the trails and roads, but very few are...

    Mojave Preserve Youth Quail Hunt

    I took my 9 yo out, our guide Jerry was great. We saw several small coveys of quail and chukar but none would get into the air. Everything was running, could have to do with all the rain and the winds. In one area you could see the mud had flowed about 3 feet deep, and there was low green...

    Lion following you. What would you do????

    I carry pepper spray and a air horn, whenever I go out with the dog or running. Its pretty surprising how quick a charging animal will stop when the air horn blares. I don't let my 9yr carry a pepper spray but he does carry the xs size air horn, I have it strapped to his camelbak. Plus its...
