Zero, zip, nada. Darn blacktails keep changing up on me. Pigs too. Just when I think I've got it figured. Could have shot many does too! But we can't do that here.

My friend george and i just got up at 0200 drove for 3 hrs to Los Padres Forrest....
We arrived at 0645 just in time to set up our blinds....
Butt guess what, at the intrance to the Park the road was block and sign, not the good Kind....
Park closed do to the dry conditions, so we had a nice 3 hr drive back home....
So much for the Montery Co Either Sex tag....
Oh well......Maybe next year.

I gave up. This year was the first in about 5 years that I purchased a California hunting license. And that was only for a rabbit hunting trip... during which I didn't see any rabbits other than the two in the campground.

Bjorn,
Im glad you brought that back up.Ive herd alot about the Cox ranch but havn't been there.I was think'n it might be a good hunt to take my wife and daughter on.Sure miss the good old island hunts back in the day.The pic's with the spanish goat you showed reminded me of those days.

great stuff bjorn..... looks like a fun trip... :eek: santa cruz mtns. eh... hmmmm..

mike- lagrange looks like a cool little town... we pass through there every year, on our way to the strawberry music fest... seems like you would have some nice critters to hunt out there...

i've been dealing with a few injuries this year, but for the most part, i've only gotten a chance to hunt some small game.... :rolleyes:

there are some big critters around here... my buddy took a huge blacktail a couple seasons back...

Haven't hunted in-state since March

Me and the 'Dude should get some time in A-22. Check out the Hope and Faith thread, Kingwouldbe took down a real nice buck early in the season...

Dude, I think we should set up a bowfishing get together out on the All American....what do you think?

A little luck for me last week: a blacktail and a hog. I was hunting for a week with my son. It was great time. If I had any computer brains I'd post some photos...but alas, I'm a dope.

OOOOOOO and the bow fishing sounds like a awsome idea.Anyone know a good spot to hunt sharks? Havn't shot any sharks after they closed Elkhorn slew.

Kurt,
Never heard of Rancho San Fernando Rey...what's it all about? Always interested in hog hunting. PM me if you prefer.

Thanks!

Legends1, That is funny because it is probably true. Shark hunting with a bow; sounds like a good time.
Stay well.
Jarrod
