    first time deer hunter

    So as a first time deer hunter I have to admit I a m kind of nervous about going. I know I can do everything until after I pull the trigger. Field dressing and butchering a deer is a little intimating. I can fillet tuna and halibut so I assume I can figure it all out with a youtube video. but...

    El Centro

    Took home 10 birds today, lots of birds flying and tied up in the thick stuff. I should have had my limit and some but i was a little off and a bad shot today. Birds were flying low and fast. Great time hunting in the valley.

    First time cleaning guns. My thoughts.

    Took my model 1100 i inherited from my dad apart to clean and even after watching a few youtube videos it was hard to figure out. Took me about an hour to take apart and clean and get back together but I got it. The mossberg 500 was way easier. Next I get to clean a 3030 and a rem 700. Hope they...

    Scope pad? Advice needed?

    It happened laying prone shooting slightly up...I think that is why it happened? But I would really would like to go to a range with someone that has experience with sighting in and adjusting scopes. It needs to be done but I have some time till next deer season.

    Hunting Turkey on Private Land Near Julian CA

    Wait you can't hunt state parks...I was joking too. I just don't like the people who bash new people asking questions. So I was going along with it. I'm new to hunting myself, but not forum boards, and I got to say this forum has a lot people not willing to answer newbie hunting questions...
