No that’s it…..it’s the only way you can get to the east side of the lake

Hey I had a question. Did you buy a lifetime license for CA when you left? If so how does that work? Do you get resident tag prices?

BOHNTR

I have the lifetime license. It allows me to be in the resident draw, but at NR fees. I have max elk and sheep points, which is why I got it before I left.

J

Jphunt44

Ok that makes total sense! Thanks!

J

Jphunt44

You ever draw an elk tag in ca or would it be your first?

BOHNTR

No I have max points…..so never drawn there

J

Jphunt44

Dang that’s wild. I’m sure you’ve been applying for 20+ years?

BOHNTR

25+….all archery Tule

J

Jphunt44

Wow that is wild. I was thinking maybe 15 years. Not even close.

Hey Bohntr you mentioned hunting that fire road above the reservoir and to look down towards the homes. It seems that almost all conservancy, Glendora city, or private lands. Can you hunt Glendora city and conservancy?

BOHNTR

The conservancy owned stuff is allowable for public access…..except the designated park at the bottom, east of the highway, east of the forest service station. The other private lands are fairly low on the hill near houses, which you cannot hunt with certain distances of occupied dwellings. The upper ends of those properties, unless properly posted as no trespassing, are open to hunt.

Oh wow thank you! That opens a lot more land than I originally thought was available up there!

Also I found that ridge down you were talking about! Pretty easy hike up and down too.

BOHNTR

There will be bucks there during the rut (end of September through October 31)

J

Then I will be there too! I got an opportunity to buy a business in Texas and I’m headed there for 2 months next week. I’ll miss the bear opener but my A31 tag starts right when I get back.

Did you see that Catalina opened deer hunting up to 1000 tags if you have a D15 tag?! That season opens in November I believe for non residents.

BOHNTR

I’ve bowhunted it. Used to be okay

Had a super fun season. Didn’t seal the deal with a bow in the foothills. Was using a 57lb longbow.

Chased this 4x4 for 4 weeks. Had him at 12 yards bedded but couldn’t see. Stalked in closer and got busted at 10 yards. He gave me a shot at 35 yards but that’s just outside my range.

J

Jphunt44

Had some other opportunities too but couldn’t get it done.

Picked up a compound for this next season! Thanks for all your tips!

Did you have a good season?

BOHNTR

That’s awesome…..especially when you’re after a big one. Pretty uneventful bow season for me. I passed a few bucks I probably should have shot….including a 34” wide forked horn with eye guards. Had him at 33 yards and was looking for a bigger one that was with him. Oh well. My son arrowed his first P&Y Coues deer up where I’m at. Thanks for the recap!

J

Jphunt44

34 wide forkie is a sight to see! Congrats to your son!

Got my compound and got a solid plan to get good with it out to 50 yards!
