    Hunter from Germany

    I know this is old but I haven't been on here in about a year. I moved from SoCal to Stuttgart area just before the 'rona last year. I haven't had a chance to take the German hunting class yet, but I'm signed up for the fishing class for later this month. I used to hunt Palomar mountain in San...

    Not enough deer being shot in the UK

    Richard, I live in Germany for the last year, haven't had a chance to take their onerous school to get a license yet, so all my guns are with family in the US still. What's involved with hunting in Britain if someone goes there? I've never hunted guided or anything close it to it, but it seems...

    Moving from KS ---> San Diego, CA

    Here's the scoop on Pendleton: https://www.pendleton.marines.mil/Staff-Agencies/Environmental-Security/Game-Warden/ Read all the regs there. The basics: $20 base license on top of all your state stuff, and you can hunt anything on base within the state seasons. The G10 Camp Pendleton tag is...

    July 2019 ammo restrictions

    I drove into the state shortly after moving here with a taxidermy deer head sitting in the passenger seat (I hadn't trusted the movers with it, left it with family till I could pick it up). They looked right at it asked about fruit and veggies, that's it and they let me continue. No form or...

    My 1st Hunt So.Cal Deer/Bear

    I thought about trying that tag, but went with A22 for me and D16 for the daughter since I know SD county a bit better and hunted there last year. I'll be interested to hear how you do. One thing I've learned in my brief time hunting SoCal (I grew up a whitetail hunter in GA), is if there's a...

    Youth Rifle?

    Thanks, y'all. I'm going to pick up a box of each the Barnes and Nosler this week and see which it likes better. Gonna be working out of town the next couple of weeks, but should be able to get out to the desert to shoot in early Feb.

    Youth Rifle?

    Side note: I took a couple of deer with this rifle when I was a teenager, as had my dad in his younger days. My grandfather always called my daughter his princess and they were as close as can be from 2000 miles away. I know he is smiling down on this rifle being hers!

    Youth Rifle?

    An update on this: problem solved, but now how I imagined. We went back home to GA for Xmas. I called my dad a couple of weeks before we left and asked him about letting my daughter try out his 7mm while we there. He then surprised me with the info that he intended to give me my grandfather's...

    Southern California hunting

    I've got an A22, been hunting Palomar. The first half the season there were does everywhere (thankfully A22 is either sex!), but I couldn't quite get within recurve range. The couple of times I've went back since the break for D16, there isn't a deer to be seen. This is my first year hunting...

    Youth Rifle?

    Don, honestly when I was about her age, I could do 10-12 shots max out of that .30-30 before I'd give it a rest for the day. I was about her height but with 20lbs or so more of fat lol... but yeah, that's why I'm looking for something smaller and asking folks. Other than a couple of AR's, I've...

    Youth Rifle?

    how is the recoil of the 25-06 compared to the other two? the rifle I'm looking at comes in that as well, just not in a youth model.

    Youth Rifle?

    I'm looking at the Savage in the Bass Pro black Friday add. On their website it has youth model in .243 and 7mm-08, but adult size in quite a few other calibers. I'm leaning 7mm-08 since we have to be lead-free in Commiefornia, and I'm worried lighter nonlead .243 rounds might not do the...

    Lots of left over tags! Any suggestions for units in the South??

    Next year I'm probably hitting that big burn above Lake Elsinore. I think that's D15. That area typically sucks, but maybe not with a burn. That's about half way between me and OC. Let me know if you want to hunt it together.

    Lots of left over tags! Any suggestions for units in the South??

    Don't overlook SD county (D16, A22). I've killed one on Camp Pendleton (G10 tag) right near the border of CNF, and hoping to get one with my bow and A22 tag this year. I'm seeing a lot of does but no bucks yet; luckily A22 is either sex. Definitely look at burns. Those areas when you zoom in...

    Greetings from Commiefornia!

    I live inland, near March ARB. I have an A-22 tag this year, first attempt off of Pendleton. No luck the first half of the season, but it opens back up this weekend now that D16 is done. I'm hunting Palomar in a little wedge of public between a bunch of private, about a mile from the nearest...
