HUNTnTAT2

Only dogs I've ever owned were pit bulls. A bullison (which was a dog fight specific breed) we NEVER fought her! She NEVER showed human aggression. She would actually lick your face off. The two I have now (a papered blue nose & red nose) have NEVER shown human aggression. They are VERY loyal to the owners and very eager to please and work. Actually the only dogs I've had snap at me were my aunts black lab n my buddies golden lab. Over breeding. Interbreeding and flat out abuse of the breed has caused the type of behavior this dog showed during this mauling. It is people that have tarnished the bully breed that used to be Americas dog. A pit bull is more likely to attack another dog than a human. ANY dog is unpredictable. They are animals. Nonetheless IF it were my dog, there would be no question that I'd put her down. Every dog has its day and all dogs go to heaven.

I am looking to visit my good friend who is getting his PHD at U.C. Davis(Sacramento area) this summer. We'd like to do some wild pig hunting. Preferably on a free range & NON high-fence ranch. Spot & stalk hunt. Usually I am A DIY guy but I'm not gunna travel 1400 miles and x amount of money and not rule out uncertainty. Any members have any experience with this type of hunt?

Ive been fortunate enough to help and call on some archery elk hunts the last few years in 4b. We were in elk every outting. Possibly the biggest living bull I've ever seen was there. And the two guys I was with also said that bull was the biggest live bull they've ever seen bar none. And it wasn't that "one" that was harvested. It was bigger. Just gotta find em. Also, didnt a record just get taken from 6a by a young lady that had people, again complaining. The Arizona model is quality over quantity. The number of tags don't help but it is a balancing act. If we aren't buying tags, game isn't being managed. Plain and simple. I think we would all like to see tag numbers go down. But resources to manage properly cost money. Alot of money. I myself am a young buck @ 25 but I try to see the positive in every negative situation I'am faced with. complaining never got anybody anywhere. It seems like this generation of Americans, whether you are 25 or 55, are a bunch of whiney-a$$ babies. nobody wants to put in the work but everybody wants to eat. Get involved if you are dissatisfied with whatever it is you are complaining about of be that shakey, nervous dog waiting for table scaps. This weekend im helping the mule deer foundation with a project in 42. A unit I hunt maybe 3/4 days in january when I dont have the time to go up north. You are welcome to join and put in some work but there will be no complaining or you will be called out. Good luck on the draw everyone! We should be glad we are fortunate to have the opportunity to hunt such a beautiful place!

Young men & women* edit.

Right on. I couldn't find a website for chopper or much info other than forum discussions. Tejon in is a little steep @ $1200. I know its "THE place" They do a diy access only for $500 but its only certain weekends. At least that's what I get from visitg their site. Maybe hunt crazy in CA can give a little more insight. I have found this place though www.garciashuntingpreserves.com and talked to Jim. Sounds like a legit operation and he started a foundation for troubled youth. Giving them outdoor opportunities in honor of his son that passed away. If I can give back to something like this ill do it every time. Looking forward to what others have to say and hunting wild pig/giving back to some troubled hound men and women. I was once in their shoes.

Looks fun!

Right on. Thanks gentlemen. I will look further into the info

I am looking for PRIVATE land. Just no high fence canned hunt B.S. thanks for the info. Ill look into choppers operation

Also of u go the DSLR adapted to your optic make sure u have a tripod setup that can handle the weight up top. It gets frustrating having to deal with the verticle axis slowly tipping from the offset weight from the camera. Even worse fully zoomed. I find that if you use a adjustable monopod with the base plate attached to the camera floor plate while the optic is on the tripod helps alot keep it extra steady. Use ur self timer also to keep even more steady. Its surprising what movement is created when u are pushing that shutter button. Especially at distances. Ur images will be real clear with a 2 second self timer. Also setup ur camera to take multiple exposures (like a 3 round burst) and multiple light exposures.

I run a t3. Good for what it is. Its all about the user though. Lenses, expect to pay 2-3x more than the price of ur camera for quality glass. The kit lens is good for artistic macro shots, harvest shots with the good old sit behind the rack 5 feet to make it look monster and landscape shots. Video quality is good but not great. My t3 is 720hd. Not sure of the t3i. Good enough for backroll, artistic filler film snippets. But if u wanna reach out there.... telephotos are not cheap. If u have a good spotting scope or optic I'd get an adapter for the DSLR and go that route. It'll be heck of alot cheaper. T3i is a good start though. Good luck.

yea those push style calls suck. my first archery bull hunt, my uncle and I ran into a herd opening day. Big 6 100yrds. i went to crouch to get low. push call in my pant pocket. it lets out a slow dying mew(unintentionally). haha. my uncle just starts laughing his butt off. "told you not to bring that thing" i use the carlton single and the 2-1/2 reeds. nothing like hands free. i firmly believe the caller has ALOT more to do with your setup being succesful than the actual call itself at least when it comes to diaphrams and reed. heck, i can even get good cow mews off my predator call and ill prolly use it this year along with my diaphrams. i like mixing stlye of calls to a setup. this past september my good friend had a bull tag. he was running a hand held reed style cow call and i was rockin the carltons. we were in the conversation for sure. even called smaller bulls with just the good ol whistle another hunt i got the pleasure to help on last year. we had bulls vocal early. snuck in silent. bumped his cows that he was pushing twoards us, back twoards him. thought we were busted. i immediately threw a bugle out. he came into a downgraded 47yrds of my buddy. he missed right over his back.

Congrats. Getting those rodents all riled up is awesome fun. My cousin and I had a swarm of 30 of em running around us in January. No tag.

Right on. Congrats. Nothing like tagging a nice buck with a Ramones shirt on!

I have the talons hd 10x42. Love em. Good glass. The guys at ROSS Outdoors hooked me up

M&P9C. Goes bang every time.

Congrats!

good stuff gentleman! SHOOTER--the mule deer painting is Acrylic. the rest were Dr. Phil Martin's liquis acrylic watercolor. i wouldnt mind a copy some of these awesome pieces. trade?

I've had about 10 stalks this rut season. One shot that ricochet off the back of a nice 3x. The rest were blown by does I didn't see. Wind shift. Or being too aggressive on a stalk. Not to mention the beast I missed on my rifle hunt back in November, which will haunt me even after I die. If u stay consistently spotting deer it'll align for you. Just a matter of time. I'm in the same boat. I'm on deer every outting. Every stalk is a learning experience. And I am grateful for each opportunity. Here is a buck I blew a stalk on last week. Just to keep the moral up!

Awesome footage. Congrats! I know exactly where these bucks were taken. I've chased deer on that same "hill"

Tattooed the rabbit hunter last night.

I'm sure I could commission something up for you in any medium. And I'd be willing to donate a piece for the site!

Rut is on fire. love is in the air. almost too intense. chasing and pushing all day. hard to get a shot off when they dont stop running. saw 3 younger bucks pushing one doe and that was the least of our action.
