You're right CA deer hunting was typical for us. Lots of scouting, lots of other hunters, not a lot of deer. Had to go to midwest family farm for meat, since they are cornfed the meat will be better anyway. Now if only the CA ducks would decide to move a little further south. Its too bad about the loss of sport fishing for coastal rock fish etc. So much for fun ling cod and crab combo fishing. Again back to ducks. Hopefully all is well for the rest of you.
