This blog has been dedicated to hunting ever since I started it. The main focus was bow hunting and getting more people involved. As I have lived in California now for ten years and learned many of the ways of the people, the laws, and the areas to hunt, I…

The San Gabriel Bighorn Sheep Survey is coming up March 5th-6th and they need volunteers. I have participated in this a couple times and it’s not only a lot of fun, but it’s great to meet new people. The last time I went out was in 2013 (see my recap…
