THe coast archery season is on and almost over. The sierra hunts start the 3rd Sat. in August. I will try and post a pic of some of the bucks in my area.

Nice mass! Are you the smith station ranch down by merced?

 

[Smithstation Ranch]

That would be me. I guess i should have resized the pic before I posted it.

 

[Calif. Hunter]

Yes - those are some nice looking bucks!

Looks as dry as it is here in the east. Nice bucks.

Ya, the county I live in had 5.13 inches of rain for the 2006-2007 rain season. that is the least amount of rain fall since 1896!!! It will be a rough year on the crops and wildlife. We found a much bigger buck this weekend. He was coming in during the late (dark) evening. I think he will go 26-28 inches wide, he is a 4x5. I will try and get a pic of him. Archery season starts Aug 18th so maybe it will be a up close and personal picture!!
