    Well that's good news that means I got a place to hunt right next to my house. I would have never guessed. Gonna get an AO tag. Best thing, I've seen bucks in said area almost everytime I go hike.

    Where do you shoot your rifle?

    Oh yeah I agree $125 is a sweet deal. There's just nothing like that near where I live... SBRGC is 3 hrs and half drive for me. Burro canyon shooting park ($260) membership is about 45 min from where I live, and they currently don't have memberships available. A place to shoot I think it is...

    Where do you shoot your rifle?

    D11 "gray" areas

    So I got OnX maps and noticed some areas were I've seen plenty of deer are part of the angeles national forest, but quite close to city limits. Can I hunt these areas? I would expect not rifle. Archery perhaps? how can I find that info? Also some of the land is owned by the city and there is a...

    Where do you shoot your rifle?

    Well in VT I could shoot in my backyard, or go to the public hunting club and shoot for free year round for a $50 year fee, or go to a private farm 13 minutes away from my home where they have a nice rifle range and let anyone use it for free. Now that I live in Sierra Madre, CA, seems like I am...

    Hunting options in South Cal

    Thanks for the reply. The Arizona archery OTC hunt sounds right up my alley. Do I still have time to plan for this hunt? I looked into it. $460 with tag and license + maps for the garmin will go up to 580 (ouch). Still seems like a great deal for a public land hunt on prime terrain, couldn't...

    Hunting options in South Cal

    Block your stank!

    Interesting, yeah I've read articles before suggesting scientific proof of it working. However, there are others showing that it doesn't make a difference. There are way too many variables and very hard to do controlled experiments to show it actually makes a difference when hunting. I actually...

    Block your stank!

    Meh. At least with whitetail I noticed no difference at all going through crazy routine vs. not even showering. I think the whole scent removal products are a hoax. Wind on your face is what matters. This onetime I was trying to approach a buck with my bow and while I was standing, with wind on...

    Moved to CA from Vermont

    Hi all, I just moved from VT, been hunting only for 3 years. Vermont success rate is usually on the single digits, so not much different than success rates in California. Winters are too long (6 months of snow in the mountains and freezing temps) and take a hit on whitetail deer population, it...

    Looking for Turkey Guide for November

    Yeah.... but the learning of scouting, and the time spent in the wilderness is not wasted time. $400 on gas, food, hard work might not get you a bird, but it gets you plenty of field time. What would the guide do? take you to where the bird is, call it, then you shoot the bird and home you go...
