    Middle Keys in April

    As a whole, the trip was great. The house we rented was spectacular, with a small pool and dock. Sharks, Cuda, Manatee and tons of Parrot fish right there. Rented a couple kayaks and cruised the Bay, caught some small fish. The two guided trips were kind of a mixed bag and my son's dive day a...

    I want to make sure I’m legal

    Yes, call the F&G Dept. When you moved and what state your tag is in are the important facts. Residency requirements will vary with different states, but one commonality is you can't' be a resident of two states at the same time. So if you are holding a current resident license in the new state...

    Christensen Arms, what's the verdict?

    We have a Ridgeline and a Mesa in the family. Mesa is fairly new and looks to be a shooter. The Ridgeline has been through a couple seasons and is exceptional. Accuracy has been great for an off the rack rifle. I do feel like I got lucky because you will hear plenty of stories like the one...

    Summer canning

    Yeah, 12 sounds like a lot. However, my experience with tomatillos has been very inconsistent. Some seasons not so great, but when they're happy plants the yield is amazing and sometimes overwhelming.

    Summer canning

    I've been freezing salsa for the last couple seasons with good results. Anyone have experience with freezing and canning? I'm wondering if canning yields a better product.

    California Black Bears

    This is true for many areas and forests I visit in Northern CA. At least while driving forest roads I typically see more bear than legal bucks. Mendocino, Lassen, Plumas, Shasta all have healthy populations. I don't spend much time in Eldorado or Tahoe NF but would bet they are loaded as well.

    One Eyed Game Warden?

    I've kinda skimmed through the last 5 pages. Has the OP graced us with the location of the incident? If no, I propose a poll with a prize for first to correctly guess the state of the alleged atrocities. I think the odds are pretty good we talkin east of the continental divide. As everyone...

    What was your worst packout?

    Solo elk. Shot a Roosevelt Bull in a Wilderness Area at 06:45 in a steep bowl, luckily less than 1/2 mile from trail. It was gonna be a hot day, so I started with multiple short trips up to the trail and down to a creek bed in order to shade quarters. Then headed to the trailhead with first...

    The New Cam Hanes Flick

    I thought Branlin did an exceptional job behind the camera. The "Alpha Bros" aspect is not my style of hunting or what I desire in the outdoors. Not for me, but if it motivates young men and women to train and gain discipline then good for them. With that said, I think a few of you may want to...

    Thoughts?

    Interesting to me that this population data seems to be ignored in most conversations about lead projectiles. Some other raptors are doing poorly. Vultures appear to be doing fine, but they are ugly so probably won't get a study funded. BTW- DDT was banned in the earliy 70s, so yeah like 50...

    WWYD

    There are a few different ways to go, usually dependent on your abundance of time and money. The other factor is what you are hoping for. Do you want to hunt often, gaining experience and memories or just looking for success? If you just want that one-time mule deer or elk, paying for access or...

    Sidearm gunlight

    From my experience the biggest pros to a weapon light on a pistol are: You have a free hand for shooting support or whatever that other hand needs to do, generally increased accuracy compared to holding a flashlight. Always have a light, yes. Great for clearing dark areas, LEO type work when...

    Sausage making for a total beginner

    I've been doing this for a while now but still learning myself. Some good resources available online, Youtube specifically. Hank Shaw is the man for wild game. I also like Chuds BBQ and Bearded Butchers on Youtube. What I've learned from experience is: cure, like pink salt only necessary if you...

    Mountain Rifle Caliber? Ya- I know...

    With the parameters described I voted 6.5 PRC for a rifle to sell. Ammo readily available and the hype around cartridge is still strong. I've heard quite a few guys bragging about their accuracy with shorter barrels, no personal experience. As stated by someone earlier it will be a bit "snorty"...
