Two lucky guys shooting the storm

[Dunnigun]

Peter, we have the Pacific Coast Range Bucks on our ranch and are in the private lands management deer program with Calif. DFG. Old timers claim the Pacific Bucks have a taller rack. We see both; tall and wide.

Hope your weather comes in soon for some good shooting. We got ours early this year and are planning on taking full advantage. We have several thousand sprig on the ranch currently and am hopeful my photographer buddy can get some professional type shots. There is a pair of eagles harassing the birds this afternoon; a golden and a bald. The snows vamoosed the property, but so far the sprig and speckle bellied geese are holding. They move around from field to field but haven't left.....YET!

Thus far, all the ducks are tasting very well, especially the sprig. But the gadwall and widgeon are mild too as they are still eating rice. Different story when they switch to grass next month.
