Missed a buck at 50 yards my first year, didn’t see any my second (got a bear tho!), and this year went up above Crystal lake for 3 days so far. Season is far from over but would love any advice you may have! I have read just about every post of yours on most forums as I love this hunting thing more and more each year!

I’m new to this forum but usually post over in Jesses hunting and fishing forum

I’ve only hunted the rifle closure portion of D-11 with a bow and arrow. If you aren’t hunting it with a bow, I can’t be too much help.

I didn’t know there was an archery only area in D11 and just looked it up and glad I did. I was driving back from Crystal lake after my hunt and was looking at that spot up above the reservoir and thinking it looked good to go hunt.

Bummer you can’t rifle there! I escorted it a little and I’m guessing you hunted the area around bear creek?

BOHNTR

Nope. The foothills above Azusa, Glendora, and San dimas.

I’ll take a look and may have to get a bow for next season!

My stalking is terrible lol I get too excited and rush

I live up in the Whittier hills and that area looks just like there. Tons of bucks in the Whittier hills but can’t even bow hunt unless it’s in your literal backyard.

Any bows you recommend? Tension?

I would go to an archery pro shop, like Willow Creek Archery, and have them fit you to one

Thank you for taking the time to chat with me, I appreciate it! I’ll let you know when I get a bow!

Hey Bohntr! I bought a bow and have been shooting 5x a week since the beginning of the year!

I just started scouting and getting cameras up. You liked Azusa and east of there?

Is the foothills of Monrovia legal for archery hunting?

BOHNTR

Glendora Mountain road…..hunt the fire roads (gated) off of it.

Went there yesterday to scout!

Went on that trail but the stuff on the east side of GMR looks more promising than this way seemed.

I appreciate you responding. I’ll be out scouting it more next week and the weeks to follow and I’ll let you know how it goes!
