That's good info, ilovesprig, I appreciate all the info you guys are posting. Mancalledhorse, I was out in the wilderness last week and the live oaks haves all dropped their acorns. Still finding deer in the low areas where the water used to be, feeding on the only green growth around. I'm...

Welcome to the sight. Check in daily, there are a lot of great guys on here with a lot of good info.

I've been blessed to be able to put meat on the table and a few horns on the wall. With 3 1/2 months to hunt and a limit of 1 or 2 deer per day (depending on the deer population in a particular county). It's just a matter of time before you get a good one. Gents, CA is a whole different...

I love hunting. Just hope I can have the success in CA that I have had back home.

I'm gonna scout a little next week. If I find some rabbits, I'll give you a holler-SurfNHuntSD.

I'm ready to go! I've got my eyes on dozens of rabbits...I don't think my neighbors, CVPD , or DFG would be happy with me hunting in my front yard though! I guess I'll go out east. Anybody in south or east SD want to go?

Great pig, congrats!

Thanks for the tips Sluester. I have noticed certain valleys or sides of the mountains have more vegetation than others, I'll start looking at fog, humidity, temps... The deer here definitely aren't like home. I'll keep looking, listening, and learning!

Same here. I've seen a couple that were tiny. That's why I was asking about the second rut. Either that or they've adopted some cous deer fawns! Couldn't have been but maybe 15 lbs.

It's my first year hunting SoCal and I am concerned about the numbers I am seeing in regards to ratio. So far, I have only seen about 28% of the does have fawns with them. Is anyone else seeing similar numbers, or hopefully better numbers? I know it's really dry out there! On another note, I...

Thank you for taking care of my fellow Marines. A lot of these warriors have been places and seen things that no one should have to. I have found that hunting is a calming experience for most of these guys and guns and trips as giveaways enable them to get out in ways they, otherwise, might...

5 yards or 305 yards...Kill em all! Good job, keep it up!

Re: CAL DRAW RESULTS ARE UP Got points for Deer, Elk, Sheep, Antelope and a D16 tag. Guess it's time to start scouting!

Welcome! Lots of great info from great people on this site.

What you really need is a clear idea of how, what and where you want to hunt. Every decision narrows your subsequent options. It sucks. I know how, where, and what I want to hunt. None of that matters if I can't get a tag for that area, right? Apparently, DFG can dictate where and what I...

Affirmative 8Steeltown. All of the knowledgable D16 hunters I have talked to feel that there will be tags available after the draw if I don't get one. I am hoping that is the case. If anyone else has an opinion I would love to hear it! Worse case scenario, I'll be in the woods with a camera!

Always carry a side arm while hunting? I've wondered about that. Regulations state that you can't carry a side arm while bow hunting ( archery season or AO tag). Has anyone talked to DFG on this? I understand they don't want someone shooting a deer with a 1911 and sticking an arrow in the...

Re: Just out of Curiosity? Fine Firearms in La Mesa. Great guys up there!

I was also really confused on the point system, first and second choices, zones...I'm from Alabama where you buy a license and can hunt anywhere and are allowed 1-2 deer per day per person. I stopped by Fine Firearms and they cleared it all up for me. If I get my 1st or 2nd choice tag for G3...

Congrats on ol' Tom #2. Great story and great advertising. Lol. I've followed your advice for this first year SoCal hunter and have found a few turkeys. Seems as though I see more hunters than turkey's. Gonna keep working to get #1. Thank you for your advice and all you do for the sport...
