    How close were you? That pic is pretty clear.

     

    Like Trphyhntr mentioned above all the border towns sell camo clothing and backpacks at all the little shops. No more crossing in flannel shirts and jeans.

    75 yards when I took the pics and started asking who I was. 50 yards when I started videoing them with my phone. I may start bringing one of those repeating firearms with me.

     

    Holy crap. I have a solo coues hunt next door in 34A next month.....makes me a bit nervous after hearing this.

  2. When I lived there, it was always in the trunk (or locked container) with ammo separate. Looks like it's still that way according to their Justice Dept website.

    Transporting Firearms in California

    HANDGUNS

    Pursuant to California Penal Code section 25610, a United States citizen over 18 years of age who is not prohibited from firearm possession, and who resides or is temporarily in California, may transport by motor vehicle any handgun provided it is unloaded and locked in the vehicle’s trunk or in a locked container. Furthermore, the handgun must be carried directly to or from any motor vehicle for any lawful purpose and, while being carried must be contained within a locked container.

    Pursuant to California Penal Code section 16850, the term "locked container" means a secure container that is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key lock, combination lock, or similar locking device. This includes the trunk of a motor vehicle, but does not include the utility or glove compartment.

    SHOTGUNS AND RIFLES

    Nonconcealable firearms (shotguns and rifles) are not generally covered within the provisions of California Penal Code section 25400 and therefore are not required to be transported in a locked container. However, as with any firearm, nonconcealable firearms must be unloaded while they are being transported.

  3. Just bought a food saver from costco.

     

    Plan on premaking some meals for hunting. How do you guys reheat the meal? Boil the bag? Empty into something else and reheat?

    Which one? This one?

    Reason I ask, is my 6 yr old Food Saver finally died and I ended up buying this one from Costco. Wasn't a fan of it at all. Difficult to use one hand to vacuum seal and I had to press down on the clear lid in order for it to vacuum properly. Ended up returning it and getting this one from Amazon. Found it to be much better plus it has a 12V adapter and it's the same price.

    As far as your question on reheat. Yes, I froze a ton of individual servings of venison stew. Then I just boil in the bag similar to sous vide reheat. Comes out great.

     

    I use my foodsaver a few times a week for sous vide and freezing chicken, beef, pork shoulders, salmon, etc from grocery shopping. During hunting season or tuna season in CA, it's used much much more. So, having one that is reliable and easy to use without having to press on it to vacuum properly is a must for me.

    I like the guys who put a sign in middle of road leading to a tank or certain area u r headed too on public land and it says filming in progress " back away".

    Folks actually do this??? hahaha, hopefully my dust, as I go through, doesnt mess up your cam lens...

     

    Saw this in 5A a few weeks ago.

    I've got pranas going on their fourth season this year. Some minor pilling on the lower legs. Been drug through the worst parts of 22 and 24b. They do not pretect against century plants or cholla as well as carhartts but they also don't weigh a ton or rub you raw. And they are about half the cost of anything first lite, Sitka, or kuiu.

     

    Another budget pant that I buy every time I see are the UB techs from Costco. They are $20 and are 94% nylon and 6% spandex. Super comfortable and are of similar design as pranas and kuhl pants. I have a 1.5 seasons in em and they are holding up well.

    Is Costco carrying these right now? Would like to try them out. Looks good for the price...

    The Costco at PV Mall carries them as of Saturday. I bought some last year and they are great pants for the money. Comfortable and are very durable.


  6. I've been in the process of trying to clear out the floor freezer in order to (hopefully) make room for a cow elk in October. Eating as much venison, striped bass and hamachi kama as possible. Ended up finding a vaccuum sealed pack of 3 whole quail from last year. Decided to brine them overnight. Rubbed them up with the go-to chicken rub, then roasted them at 435* for about 15 min. Holy crap, I always forget how f-ing good those little birds are.

  7. Very nice Little Creek Calls... I'll be making a few qt's of PP moonshine next weekend on a stove-top still, Tunas distilled twice, flavoured with reserved PP juice...

    Makes the house smell sooo goood...

     

    I read your post a while back where you included your recipe. Any recommendations on a still?

    What the heck are you guys looking at on the internet?!?

    LOL, just privacy.

    Most have no clue how many organizations and companies track everything they do online. Ever notice how after visiting a website you get lots of banner, Facebook, etc. ads for that company?

     

    Ad retargeting. Common practice in any online marketing campaign. We do that at the software company I work for. Clearing cookies or browsing in an "incognito" window in Google Chrome will prevent that. Using an ad-blocker also helps.


  9. This is exactly why everyone with high end equipment needs to contact their insurance and add a "RIDER" to their insurance that includes all the equipment. Most vehicle insurance companies will not cover the cost of the equipment. These extra things don't cost that much, but will save you a bunch of money if this actually happens to you. I'm currently in the process of taking pictures and documenting all my equipment to have added to my homeowners insurance.

     

    Good point. I just emailed my broker this morning to ask him this exact question. Thank you for bringing this up.


  10.  

    My Great-Grandfather's shotgun that I found cleaning out my uncle's barn in Litchfield, MN. It was rusted out pretty bad. Took about 3 mos to get it back to this shape. I have a few before and after photos I can post up if anyone's interested. The family thinks the shotgun dates back to the 1920's, maybe earlier.

    Looks a lot like the shotgun Gunit posted. Post the before pics.
