Northern Calif hunting??

Snarkler -
Sounds like a GREAT set up.

I'm in to single shot's mostly. Have a couple of contenders and an encore. Have a .223 on the contender that shoots pretty well. My favorites though are my Sako .222 and Rem 700VS in .220 Swift. These two just plain shoot, even though I can't. :)

I have a small collection of open reed and closed read calls - capped off by some I got from board guys here. Also have a phantom - haven't had a chance to put it to the test yet though.

Had to get rid of my '90 Bronco - she was perfect in every way, but I needed a pick-up for work. Long story, but no 4x4. Have looked for a quad, but just can't afford one right now, and no one wants to swap anything for one.

sounds good guys. my only weapons here are my .270win, my 12gauge and my .22lr but then again, my dad has a few nice sakos he may let me take out.
 
Glad to see there are so many calif boys here.I hunt almost everyday and kill yotes and squirrels aplenty.I'd be very interested to meet a bunch of local shooters.Most of my close friends don't take the shooting seriously.they'd just asoon shoot cans.I love to burn powder.

Oops! Hit the button too early. Anyways just wanted to introduce myself to you guys. My name is Russ and I work with Snarkler. He is the one that got me into varmints. I was mainly into big game up until about a year ago.

I just purchased a stainless encore frame which I will have next saturday and very eager to try it out. In about 4 weeks I will have a new custom 15" 454 Casull barrel with a muzzle break. So I'm interested to hear from others with contender/encore's.

Krusty,
Good to see you in this piece of the forum.

Didn't know if you were still around. Still have the calls working. Just don't have much time to work on them right now. Have made a couple, now I'm trying to work on tuning the turkeys.

You may not want to answer online, but if you don't mind my asking, where did you come across the encore? I've got one, but not sure that any more NEW ones can be had. I don't care much about ANOTHER one, but would be interested in a G2 if I can find anyone carrying them.

Let me know, maybe we can hook up to go shooting. (I'm going to spend some time at the loading bench tonight so I'll be ready next time I get a chance to go). I didn't realize how close you were. For some reason I thought you were in Fresno/Bakersfield.

Snarkler -
Come on buddy! Where's the content? :)

Great url BTW.

Take care all,
just call me loadin' in Komifornia today...

Steve,

I hope you didn't have this new Krusty confused with crusty ol' me...

Krusty Klimber

, maker of much mischief, and Krusty Kriers predator calls.

Welcome new Krusty! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif My friends call me Krusty too!

So many of the places you guys mention bring back great memories for me, I lived in Stockton for a few years, and hiked, biked, and played in a lot of these places.
Hey what about the wildlife area southwest of Rio Vista (a dozen or so miles)? Or any of the ones along there... I did a lot of kayaking on the deltas, when I lived down there... and we always heard/saw a lot of coyotes in the fields and roads along the sloughs.

But I digress...

Yeah Steve, I am still around... just not as much as I used to be.
I am gonna read a lot more than I post... though the flame wars did tend to cause a lot more hits on my website and call orders, it just aint worth it anymore.

Take care, let us know how your Central Cal thing works out, it might benefit those of us, up north of you, to do something like it.

Jeff (Krustyklimber),
that's exactly what I did. My brain just don't work like it used to. I turn 40 in a couple of months and all hecks broke loose. Next thing I know, I'll need both shoulders replaced, both hips replaced and need a kidney xplant or two... oh, wait, already did that.

Anyway,
my appologies to both of you. Not because one or the other might be offended, but because I'm brain dead and didn't show the desency to remember folks by who they are.

Ya'll take care - and oh yeah, let me know if anyone comes across a Ruger #1 in quarter bore or smaller.

Thansk,
Brain Dead Steve

Alright sounds great....!!!!! I'm so glad you guys ( Joe, Steve ) got this going I just hope Im here long enough to enjoy it!!!!!!!!

Curtis
 
Just got home from deer hunting... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I saw more Mountain Lions than deer!!

I'm not BS'ing, I saw a mother with 2 full grown/all most full grown cubs and one doe.

Maybe someday we'll be able to hunt Lions again in the state of "fruits and nuts"?

Anyway, looks like Joe (rukas) has things rolling, looking forward to meeting like minded people in this state for once !!

I have new "public" areas all ready for us.

Steve
 
Steve so how did you guys do???? Man that would be cool to see a mountan lion in the wild. I never have but people I was hunting with seen them while we were out thats about as close as I have got to them. Well hope all is well. talk to you soon.
Curtis
 
Glad you made it back in one piece Steve, I might be taking another trip to Nevada this next weekend to scout some new areas out, just depends on how work goes. Still in search for a quad. Did you go ahead and start the process of the one we talked about?

Rukus
 
I hope you boys make good with your northern California predator hunting club. It won't be the first club in the state when it comes to predator hunting. We have a long history in the sport. Keep it going and Good Luck guys.
