I second this. If you set your eye relief perfect at your highest magnification, you should be good at the lowest. It may even take a few tries. Often, I find that what feels like perfect eye relief behind the rifle in the garage ends up not working when I actually go to shoot.

Gotcha. I definitely heard your shot further away after those two shots that were closer to us so I think you’re right on the money. Those birds there seem super keyed up to hunters so even more props to you for sweet talking that guy off private. Congrats again man!

Good stuff man congrats! Did that bird happen to come in from the south chasing a couple hens? We got outsmarted by a gobbler in the same area that put himself between us and the road, never giving us a shot. He end up chasing some hens towards the north and got himself shot just a few minutes...

Super frustrating. There’s only a handful of legal spots that don’t require driving my ass out to the desert and they all get consistently trashed. It’s too bad that most gun owners in CA are are perpetually stuck in the “gun make big boom” phase and never really get invested in the longevity of...

Hell yeah great pics man!

I’d be surprised if they were open. Have you tried calling?

I second the kenai chest holster. How do you like those axils? I’ve tried almost every electronic hearing pro setup in that price range and haven’t found anything worth sticking with yet

.35 minute groups is no joke! How do you like that Tikka action? I’ve been wanting one for a long time but haven’t committed

I was unaware thanks for the heads up.

That’s a rough one but it sounds like you guys put yourselves through a lot of unnecessary misery

I agree and thanks for the insight. I almost exclusively hunt larger areas of public for that reason and always try to coordinate with other hunters at camp or access points and find out where they’re headed so I can avoid stepping on their toes. I also have had lots of success adjusting my plan...

Unreal!

Agreed and I know they didn’t mean to interfere with my hunt. I’ve unintentionally stepped on some toes out there and it’s a shitty feeling. California’s tough enough as it is.

You’re absolutely right I don’t have anymore of a right to be there. I was genuinely trying to ask about the etiquette of the matter and if I was getting frustrated for no reason which it sounds like I probably was. My intent wasn’t to bitch about the other hunters but to ask others opinion...

All I did was ask a simple question if you guys thought it was bad etiquette on their part considering the circumstance or if I’m over thinking it. No need to get spun out over nothing.

Unfortunately that wasn’t the case for me today. I found multiple sets of tracks on top of my boot tracks in an unusual spot and it looked like they were running from the direction the quail hunters were in

Under 100 acres. I’ll park next to people on larger properties but I feel this is a little different

I was hunting a really small parcel of public this morning trying to fill my A22 tag. I got there later than usual and was surprised to find that no one had beat me there so I got set up on a great spot where I had previously seen a lot of deer travel through. Some time went by and then a close...

I had a similar experience a couple years back with my first deer. I worked my ass off for a few years before I got one and it was the best meat I’ve ever had. Congrats and enjoy every bite of it!

Saw two bucks chasing does last weekend
