California Deer Hunting
 

25 hours and counting till bow season in California. Zone C3 is about ready to be one less buck than before. Anyone hunting the A1 archery C ZONES this year?

Well I don't bow hunt... but general A rifle is open tomorrow... dang, we didn't get an A tag this year... but I guess we still could since we only got a general B. A good friend of mine's father owns like 7oo acers near clear lake and they are up there now for opening day tomorrow.

I was born/raised in clearlake but live in Phoenix now. Lots of deer in those hills, just not the easiest to find them at times (unless you are driving at night of course).

Scouting success! Today i scouted for about 1 hr. and saw a bachelor group of 5 bucks. 4 of them were 4x4's andthere was one monster there that had a drop tine on each side with 3 inch eye guards with forks, he was also abou 30 in. wide and 20 tall. So many horns on each side that when he turns his head you cant see thru his horns. either a 7x7 or 8x8

Hey ahunter_in_X1, did you get drawn for X-1 this year? Sounds like your scouting is going well.

Well X-1, you should get drawn next year for sure with the new preference point. Did you get a C-zone tag before they sold out or are you hunting further south this year? I'm doing 1 tag in the B-zones (just starting to learn them0 and a tag in D-5.

RE: California Deer Hunting
 

well I'm back from b2. What a weekend. I didn't get anything but pretty much everyone else did. One guy killed 2 bucks. A 3x4 and a 2x2. One guy killed a bear, it was small but who cares. Then everyone else killed a single buck a piece. Mostly 2x2's. I had a shot at a 3x3 but I waited to long and he took off. Also I almost had a shot at a bear, good size. We came right up on him eating on an old gut pile, scared us both and he took off. I had him in my sights but the trees were to thick.

Overall, good weekend. Hunting california is definitly getting better. We saw about 15 deer total, and two bear.
