Living in SD for many of my 30+ years of duck hunting, we had Wister, the Salton Sea, SD City Lakes (Barrett, Otay and Sutherland), Henshaw, or the Colorado River (Cibola or Imperial NWRs). I have many good memories from them all, my avatar pic is from the river. Now living in Nor Cal, lots of...

I admire some of you going simple, but when i truck camp, I'm eating good. Big ribeye's, potatoes in big cast iron over the fire, peach cobbler in the dutch oven. For breakfast, a pound of bacon for every morning and eggs in the big cast iron over the fire. I'll slip in some pudgy pie...

3" versus 3.5", Benelli vs Mossberg, Ford vs Chevy....blah blah blah I shoot a 3.5" gun, use 3.5" shells, and I love how some of you purists make simple inferences that if you shoot 3.5" shells, you are a skybuster....too damn funny. Some folks try to portray themselves as more ethical...

What part of the river are you focusing on? I ran a 1448 jon boat with a 20hp outboard, it worked great. Then I upgraded to a 1652 with 60hp. I actually killed more ducks out of the 14 footer, it just hid better I guess. Depending on the miles of river you plan to use would depend on the...

If your fence is solid, perhaps a bark collar to minimize the barking when your pooch senses your neighbor?? I've used bark collars on all my dogs, the good thing (in my situation at least), bark collar use only lasted a short time (a few weeks at most) to minimize that behavior. The only time...

Sometime in the first week of December looks good on the moon phase. If you wait too long, depending on the area (especially the rice), and the bypasses flood, the ducks disappear.

with a 3/4 ton truck, you might just be better off with a decent tent trailer and ez-ups. That way your bed is open for all your other gear. At the end of the day, your expenditures for outfitting your rig could be a lot more expensive...just a thought. I doubt you're off-roading in too tough...

Not what you're probably wanting to hear....don't let him go! While honorable and noble in their efforts to assist the needy, man...that's family going to an area of unrest. Too much of a risk in my mind!

I've tried BFG, Cooper, Hankook, and Goodyear...the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac has been the best for me so far. 315/75/16's on my duramax. The only tires to get me to 40k miles. Good tire, not louder than the other AT's I've tried. Good luck with your choice! I love new tires on my rig...

Nice feesh!

This is all a little funny to me! Most hunters on hunting forums claim to be stand up guys, have this inner circle, are superior hunters/heroes, have ethics of stone, and will always bash a law breaker or poacher. Buuuuuut,,,,,,,,,when it's one of their inner circle, all of a sudden, their...

From a hunting perspective, So Cal equates to vanishing possibilities with too many hunters. Not that I'm advocating a Northern Migration, but opportunities are much different to the North....just saying.

I started my son off with a Mossberg Bantam 20 guage 500. Pumps are like solid breaches, they will kick. An auto would be nice, but they are also heavier, so there's a trade-off. Lighter handling gun with more kick, or heavier gun with a little less kick. Most bantam or youth models come...

I give my 14yo BLF and my 12yo BLM a Cosequin DS every day. The 14 yo she officially retired last season, but for her last 2 hunting seasons, I would give her a Rimadyl the night before the hunt, and then after the hunt, I know you asked about OTC, but that stuff really helped her recover a...

I miss my Santucky! Most of all, I miss Cotijas and Cazedores Taco Shops!

Well that doesn't suck! 1k acres, we're used to that in So Cal!

I know man..... At some point, tax payers will need to stand up to the State Government on blowing away all our money. One can only hope it happens sooner than much later. SB54, man, embarrassed to say I'm a Cali. Then this new gas tax to pay for road repair, when taxes are already in place...

More people should read this and move! I like CA, with all it's misgivings and political fall out. Oceans, rivers, lakes, valleys, mountains, deserts, we do have it all. I like the the 3 season living, Fall/Spring/Summer. I love the abundant waterfowl and fish, and did I mention the 100 day...

I've always been partial to the Bishop Creek area. When we do cabins, we would do Parcher's Resort. A little pricey, but great experience. I usually camp at the Willows Campground right below Parchers. https://parchersresort.net/
