Great photos. I cut my teeth hunt Black Tail in Oregon...they are quite the chalenge. Is it difficult to get a tag to hunt in CA? I would guess that they get a lot of pressure.

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

Nope, not for the B zones which are the best black-tail areas, and you're allowed two bucks and you can hunt the rifle and archery seasons in any of the B zones with the same tags.

CA DFG Deer Management

And there's lot's of USFS and BLM land to hunt on. Plus bear season opens with deer season and the early mountain quail season and grouse seasons are right in there too.

333_OKH, is that private or public land your pictures portray?? Sure is pretty!

Do you hunt by glassing the parks, or do you need to hunt BT in the woods??

Most of what you see is PUBLIC lands in my photos.

I change my techniques to the terrain....I prefer walking the outer boundaries of these open areas taking my time and scoping it really well. The Castle C comment of mine was for the Fjold pictures..thats what appears to be his pics. If you want to find the big guys, you will need to go deep and away ffrom the beaten path....like some of my photos.

The first picture of mine is actually in mule deer territory about 20 miles above Johnsondale, east of Bakersfield.

Looks like some of your photos are from the area on the east side of Redwood National Park, some from the Eel River area around Covelo, and some from just north and west of Weaverville.

You got Covelo right, but the others are along Highway 36 and another near Eel Rock on the Eel River.

Look's like an ideal place to have elk transplanted there!

I wonder why the state of California never had transplants of elk even though California has a small population of Tule elk?

FJOLD, I know where that place is. I've hunted that part of the Sierra for years. Killed a 400 pound Black bear in Peppermint Canyon area, several years ago. That's a few miles north east of Johnsondale.

I bought a vacation home in Panorama Park, Tulare County, above Posey, in 1969, and kept it until 2000. That is the only thing I miss about Calif.

333OKH, speaking of the Eel River, I killed a 300 pound Black bear just north of the Eel River, Shasta County, in 1972.

Those pictures bring back many memories.

I grew up in Lompoc, so all of my hunting as a kid was from Point Conception up to Vandenburg AFB. And east out toward Cuyama and the Los Padres National Forest.

Brad,
Many years ago (27 now that I calculate it!) I hunted on what was at the time Huasna Cattle Co. land up Huasna Rd out of Arroyo Grande. I shot K's of ground squirrels and lots of hogs and a few of deer. The quail hunting was unbelievable. Small world.

OK, HunterMT, the world just got even smaller. My best friend in the wide world left Bozeman 1.5 years ago and moved to Arroyo Grande... he owns 430 acres on Huasna rd (with access to another 400) and I've a standing invite to go kill pigs... go figure!
