Looks like Mick Dover is at it again. This time he’s got a great looking B-Zone blacktail from the mountains west of Corning. Haven’t got all the details yet, but here’s the photo.
Can’t wait to hear the stories that go along with this buck.
2009 Nevada Late Season Mule Deer Hunt
Posted in Big game hunting, Deer hunting, tagged Nevada mule deer hunt on November 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It’s interesting how every deer hunt takes on a new look. No two hunts are ever alike and this year’s Nevada mule deer hunt was nothing like last years.
We arrived to very cold temps and snow on the mountains. The first night it was difficult to sleep in the bitter cold. However, each day of [...]

On the last day of the D6 hunt, I made this video describing the action on the hunt and showing a bit of the rugged mountains along the Clarke Fork of the Stanislaus River.
On the second day of the hunt, I passed on a young buck, but managed to get a [...]
Quick on the Trigger

When the right buck comes along, it’s time to shoot. We learned this lesson a couple times this season. During the last week of the A-Zone season, Rob spotted a buck and it took Joe only a few seconds to zero in and put it to sleep.
Rob was a little bummed because it was the [...]

Fernando was one of our two packers.
Randy was the other. They work for Kennedy Meadows Pack Station. The owner, Matt Bloom, is very accommodating.
This was a very large bear and we saw him two days in a row. We observed about six bears in all.
One bruin left his track near camp, but we didn’t have any [...]

The day began with a typical flurry of bird activity. Many were drinking from the pond and others were bathing.
The acorn woodpecker posed for several photos from about 15 feet away.
A stellar jay joined him and it seemed like they were buddies, but I think not.
Scrub jays were everywhere, both adult and imature.
These young California [...]

California’s A-zone blacktail aren’t big deer. Every once in a while a 24 inch wide buck shows up and occasionally one that has four points per side. Here are a few live photos of some A-zone bucks. Most of the bucks you’ll see in the A-zone are forked horns.
This is a cache creek buck photographed [...]
