Good on ya, GSP..........Soccer was the start of the softening of our youth..........I try to take as many kids and adults for that matter, as I can......It's almost impossible to start hunting these days without a mentor, especially waterfowl.

I dont mean to beat up just on soccer or anything like that im just saying no soccer mom or "play dates" around here just an out doors family. I think everything needs to be in balance but our kids now days know nothing of where food comes from or what it takes to survive. Hunters kids for the most part do. my kids do. My grandchildren are already learning at 4,5 and 6 it all up to us parents and older people to pass these things on. and if after that they want to play soccer in the spring when nothing much is in season i guess its ok.
they make too much noise to take yote hunting anyway,

Or not giving them bad grades because that would make them feel bad. Hey, they should feel bad and work harder to correct it. Society now wants everyone to be the same -- everyone to the mediocre middle. This can only lead to Loserville.

Amen to that I got a few friends who want to start hunting but they're just lazy and think it's easy and that they can do anything I can do. But they just don't have the patience or the desire and don't have the patience for it.Sdbirds said:

i work the west on the 101. i was in arroyo grande and santa maria yesturday. I usually only go for day trips up and back, my area is all the way to paso robles but sometimes im all the way up in gilroy. I had a great pig hunt this year outside of gilroy. I got a bear on an old private ranch last year off the 166 about 10 miles out side santa maria I used to also have the 14 and 58 and 99 including Taft, tachapie and ridgecrest got some nice yotes out side of ridge crest on BLM land.
Anyway im always ready for a hunt and to pay gas or drive. either way ive got a year to get in shape. do you bow or rifle i only hunt rifle. are a zone tags easy to get? OTC or draw?

Oh Okay I have some spots about 35-40 miles east of Santa Maria. Yeah I love ridgecrest, I'm making a trip up there in January for Yotes.
I hunt with both, just rifle tho, during rifle season.
Yes a-zone is otc, and never runs out of tags. The area I hunt is huge with tons of places to hike.
I actually took one of my buddies on a 3 mile hike (6 miles round trip) and he didn't want to go hunting with me again lol.
If you do end up hunting with me, get a bear tag too

Re: New Indangered Species. But Do you think they will put this one on the list?
Oh nice!
Yeah as the crow flies, 6 miles is nothing. But in 100 degree heat, looking 3 miles back up to where the truck is, you wish you had a helicopter hahaha. Longest hike I have been on was 7 miles in 7 miles back, over night. On the way back I really thought I was going to die. Everyone in the group ran out water like 1/2 mile from the truck. And the last pull was straight up. I won't be doing that hike again
