    Is Gore Tex a must?

    I am a few years into hunting, and up until this turkey season my regular hiking boots had done just fine. While looking for turkeys this spring I moved through the back country in the early morning to find that the dew on the overgrowth soaked my boots in minutes. It was a squishy day. Next...

    First Time in Cleveland National Forest

    I do have ONX, I thought the irrigation district was not huntable, is it? I saw a lot of private land on the other side of the highway in the app, but if that is huntable I know where I will be next year haha.

    First Time in Cleveland National Forest

    Good to know! Maybe next year I will try this area again. I thought if we got I'm the valley we could find a path out, but every clearing led to a dead end with brush so thick we couldn't get through. What is VID?

    First Time in Cleveland National Forest

    Well we didn't see or hear any turkeys, but had a fun time nevertheless. Started out before sunrise, hiking in to Love Valley in the CNF. The hike in was a breeze. When we got to the valley we hiked around the edges looking for sign, calling and sitting awhile at each location waiting to hear...

    First Time in Cleveland National Forest

    For those curious, I called the dept of fish and wildlife. They transferred me to an analyst who said a non hunter can tag along but can't call can't look for game and can't carry a method of take, fire arm, bow, etc. I asked about after the take, field dressing, packing game out and he was not...

    First Time in Cleveland National Forest

    That is plenty of guidance for me! It's a big Forest so having even a starting point to hike in to is enough for me. It is late in the season as well so if there are no gobblers left I will just enjoy the sunrise. I figure I might as well take advantage of staying just a few miles away and get...

    First Time in Cleveland National Forest

    Thanks all for the input! Sounds like he can do more than just hike and reap any rewards from my work :) He does not have a firearm to his name so I don't need to worry about him carrying anything anyway. My main goal was if we get stopped by a ranger there would be no question around our...

    First Time in Cleveland National Forest

    Is lake henshaw part of CNF? Or does it just have huntable land near it? I also plan to call the national Forest service to ask about non-hunting guests. As I understand it as long as they don't Helo with the hunt they can hike along. So no glassing, no calling, no carrying ammo, no breaking...

    First Time in Cleveland National Forest

    Looking for advice. I am going down to So-Cal for a family vacation in early May, just on the tail end of the spring Turkey season. I will have one day for a turkey hunt, which I know I know is ridiculous and nearly impossible but if nothing else its an excuse for me to go out in the wilderness...
