    Wow, super buck BillyGoatMachine.

    I shot this decent forked horn Friday morning literally 1/2 hour before sunrise. A zone, Mendocino Co. Private land hunt. I'll be hunting for a big buck for the rest of the season. Of course "big" changes the closer we get to closing...

    No government deprives its citizens of rights without asserting that its actions are "reasonable" and "necessary" for high-sounding reasons such as "public safety."
    A right that can be regulated is no right at all, only a temporary privilege dependent upon the good will of the very government
    officials that such right is designed to constrain.

        No bragging for me. Happy to have filled my seer tag. Drew an early season rifle hunt with a long season. Last week was my planned hunt but even after hiking 36 miles over 3 days, I wasn't successful.

        After work tonight I ran up to a spot that is about 90 minutes away for an evening hunt. Heading up the dirt road and what do I see? It was a small buck, but it was legal and since my planned hunt was over, selectiveness was gone.

        Stopped the truck and made my way off the road to be legal. Double lung with a suppressed 6.5 creedmore and that was out. Got home before dark.

        Very nice. As much as I love a big set of horns and this years archery buck might be my deer of a lifetime, meat is always my top priority. My family eats 90% wild game year round with the exception of bacon and the occasional hotdogs. Meat in the freezer has its own set of accomplishments. And boy do I wish I could hunt with my suppressor here in Ca. Im and SOT taxpayer so its demo/range toy only. Congrats on filling your freezer.

          Food is definitely the motivator. The only bummer about a small buck is the amount of freezer space it doesn't take up. The upside is the meat should be good. I have 8 more meat tags in Wyoming to top the freezers off and a bull elk tag as well so meat should be good for the year.

            A zone south black tail

            3x3 buck shot right outside of city limit on private land in Santa Clara county. Harvested right around sun rise on Sunday.

            He is the only legal buck I saw on the property the entire season and during the preseason scouting. It is a resident deer that lives uphill on neighbor's land. Saw him a total of three times during about 15 trips but he never came down to the property I hunt. Saw tons of does and fawns and one spike buck during the season.

            On Sunday morning he apparently trotted downhill in pursuit of a doe. That's when he met Mr. Barnes...

            This is my first blacktail. Definitely feel very lucky.

                    A small but mighty buck. I hunted 6 days and hiked well over 40 miles to find him on a hillside 50 yards off the road.

                      The bucks were out this weekend in B1 southern Humboldt, from Friday evening until Sunday morning our group of 6 took 6 bucks, two forks by junior hunters (both first deer), one 2x3, one 3x3, one 3x4 and one 4x4 by us senior hunters (ranch rule is 3-point one side if you aren't a junior hunter). The rain last week and Saturday morning really helped.

                      My son's 3x3, measured 19" from the widest V to V


                      My 3x4


                      The 2x3


                      Saturday afternoon, there's 4 in there with 2 more coming...


                      Saw this 3x4 on the drive out, look at the fat coat on him

                        Add a spike bull to this year's harvest. First elk.

                          we got 4 in camp this yea. unfortunately I wasn't one of them.
                          All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

                            It was a good year for elk out here. Not monsters, but they were around. My immediate hunting group of 4 all got elk, 3 of 4 got deer, and one doubled up on deer.

                              These are pretty awesome.

                              Hopefully, I will be able to add some pics of my own next week.
