Hunters

Anyone hunting Zone X-1 for deer this year. I know the area well, but none of my hunting buddies got tagged?

Hunting from your yak..Thats hardcore...

as much as I have donated to the ocean God, Not likely.

I don't have a tag but I want to go bad.  Next year I think I will apply for tags.  Never shot anything like a deer before.

Travis, your welcome to join, just can't hunt. That area anyway. I will be camping for 9 days Sept. 30th to Oct. 9th. I am camping outside McCloud, ca.

Hey Joe.  I heard it's rare to get drawn for X-1.  That's why I rarely put in.

I've been itchin' to harvest some deer.  I make a mean venison jerky!

 Actually, I've been seriously considering this... especially around Lake Shasta.  There's a lot of shore area open to public hunting.  I was thinking about planning a weekend hunting trip.  I can store all needed camping supplies and my rifle or bow below the hatch.  Some of the best areas are down the river arms where you can cruise the shores.  Once you spot a buck, simply beach your kayak and begin your stalk.  Since the average blacktail is less than 150#, transporting one on your kayak should be no problem.  Let me know if any of you might want to give this a try.

Won't that be a little hard to sneak up on them in a yellow yak

That sounds like fun.

 I might do that if I can get away for a few days.  Who all are you camping with?

Chuck, I would actually do that. I have hunted buckbone creek inlet from a PB, it is great hunting. We saw lots of deer, but that was some time back. Id do that...

Travis, I will most likely be by myself. My family might be joining me, but that is up in the air right now. I do have a motorhome I am taking, and some gear tents.

Animales are usually not as easily spoked when you are on the water. Took land and they go running.

Yeah - I've seen a lot of Deer close to shore at Lake Del Valle. I've paddled in so close that I could have used a Hawaiian sling on 'em   .....and the color of my kayak didn't seem to bother 'em at all   Then again... I'm pretty sure that the Deer population in Del Valle are so used to seeing people anyway.

I wander how much rock and roll you would get from shooting a 300 ultra mag from a kayak?
