    Catch All Fishing Thread

    I do like fishing in California. It truly does have it all from high Sierra ice fishing, fly fishing, world class bass fishing, salmon (sometimes), and these bluefin that come close this time of year.

    BHA on HQ

    R3 is not the problem in the west, and in fact if we want to keep our hunting traditions alive in the face of growing animals rights groups spreading misinformation that results in hunting and trapping bands, R3 in addition to outreach to non-hunters will be pivotal to protecting our hunting...

    New Boots

    I have been hunting the last 8 years or so out of a pair of Kenetrek Mountain Extreme and they have been a great boot. I had the factory replace the sole once during that time, but the uppers are starting to fail, I got my $$ out of this pair of boots for sure. It is time for a new boot before...

    I would be careful about shooting them in deep water as they do sink rather quickly...

    NM applications

    My buddy and I drew Barbary tags for the February hunt. I’m looking forward to seeing new country and hopefully my first sheep of any kind. If anyone has pointers for me I’m all ears

    CADFW Votes in Favor of 2 Bear Tags!!

    The bear population can sustain much more harvest and the population about 59,000 bears and growing according the the latest bear management. This is not a cdfw money grab, it is an honest effort to give hunters more opportunity in a sustainable way. Currently, some of the highest bear...

    Colorado Opportunity Elk

    I'm in the same boat only a few elk points. I'll probably put in for something I won't draw and hope I get a my second choice tag. As a degenerate tag gambler am excited about the possibly drawing a random tag in Colorado. I'm holding 9 deer points and hope to draw something this season to...

    Bino Harness Zulu 6 16x42?

    Hey Hunttalkers, For those of you running the Sig Zulu 16x42 what harness are you using? Do you like it? I have a FHF Pro-M for my other binoculars and I do like it especially the tight closure to keep vegetation out, but want to consider other options as well. I really need something that has a...

    Moving to California... tell me what to expect.

    As others have said the fishing in San Diego is amazing especially if you like the ocean. I would say the turkey hunting, duck hunting, and bear hunting is as good or better than many states, but you share it with a lot of hunters and hikers, birders and ol' hippie ladies praying to crystals in...

    Bad Guides and Experiences

    I have only done 2 guided trips and one was a great drop camp two years ago in Colorado and I'd book again with them. The first was more than 10 years ago with an outfit out of Libby, MT and it soured me on guided trips until this last drop camp. Our "guide" was just a driver and all he wanted...

    Arizona Deer Report

    We had another great trip to AZ. Thank you to all the hunttalkers who gave me pointers for my hunt, you know who you are. I also appreciate the resident hunters we met during the hunt, I'd have to say everyone we met in the field were real nice folks willing to help out fellow hunters even some...
