Cali Fog
« on: September 03, 2011, 11:44:00 AM »
Well since elk season opened a few days ago and Uncle Sam has me hanging out in Cali until late in the month. I figured one might as well make the best of the trip.

This is some Beautiful country. This particular location has some steep steep steep terrain.

 

If you follow this draw all the way down and to the left side of the frame that is where this story will continue.

 

 

 

Pardon my bad photography My cammera and I are having a disagreement. So a lot of these are cell phone pictures.

The game here is plentiful. If coyotes were not more or less safe here I would never get a chance to hunt anything else. There has not been a day yet I have seen less than five.
   

I have been wondering since I got here why the good bucks were hard to find. Then I saw this and thought that explains everything.
   

I guess this guy did not get his wings yet. This is right after I got busted at 27 yards by trying to rush things a little to much.
   

There are plenty of these around too. This is my best one so far.
   

Really though I wanted to kill a pig. I passed several the first week I was here. Not thinking that the deer season would really mess up the pig hunting. Well it did. I went from seeing 8 to 10 a day to one if I was lucky. So last nights I decided no more passing and at the very bottom of a canyon(the picture from above). I was able to get this piggy.
   
   

Interesting part of this is a rifle hunter acctually found this pig. It was an area I have been seeing a lot of action and sing in. When I approached it there was a rifle hunter at the edge glassing the bottom. Not wanting to mess up his hunt as he was there before me I made a loop and stopped to speak with him. He showed me the pig he had spotted and said he was not wanting to carry a pig out of a canyon today but he woudl stay and watch it for me if I wanted to make a stalk. He watched the whole thing unfold. When I got back to my truck he was there waiting for me. He was more than impressed with the taking of a pig with a recurve. I gave him my number and offered to help him drag a deer any day.

Randy,

Wow ... California deer drink Red Bull?    :thumbsup:   Hunters are hunters and it was cool of the guy to let you go after the pig.  Good on you for offering to drag for him.

What part of the state are you in?  Must be A zone somewhere near Santa Cruz.

The cool fog of the coast is a pleasure when it is 3 digits everywhere else.

Congratulations Randy. I wish I would've taken advantage of the hunting in California when I was stationed there. The fog is beautiful in pictures but horrifying if your driving. Hoping for continued success for you.

Do this mean the elk are safe in area 38 this season?
