Just wanted to say hi. I don’t post on social media very often but I’ve learned so much from this site that I wanted to say thanks and introduce myself. I’ve been bowhunting for a couple decades but just got into saddles a couple years ago. I use an Aerohunter Kestrel Flex and climb SRT or with spurs. I also have a Predator platform but am starting to really like a screw-in ring-of-steps. Archery season starts in mid-August in my neck of the woods (Trinity County, CA), and it’s hot and dry. I mainly hunt blacktails and keep a bear tag around just in case. Hopefully the woods won’t be on fire this season and I’ll have some good stories or photos to share with you all!
 
Welcome! Let’s see some prior CA black tail pics of you have any!?
Here are a couple of the nicer blacktails I took over the last few years, one with a rifle and one with a bow. Haven’t connected from the saddle yet, but I have a couple bucks (one is a real toad) patterned and archery season starts August 21. So, I have some high hopes for this year. What are the bucks like in your neck of the woods?

WNY? That’s where I get my deer hunting roots. Was born near Niagara Falls but my family moved west when I was 3. Grew up seeing pictures and hearing stories of my dad’s hunts out there. What an awesome area to hunt you have! You’ve now got a contact out here in blacktail country so if you get a chance to visit/hunt give me a shout!
 
Welcome! I left Northern California 4 years ago for Georgia. Actually lived in paradise. Hunted D3 primarily up in the bucks lake area. Hopefully the public land is open for you and not burnt up. Good luck

Thanks! Sounds like you left Paradise just in time. I heard that the Dixie Fire burned up to the north side of Lower Buck’s, but hasn’t yet reached Buck’s Lake.

I went to UGA and treasure my memories from Georgia. What a great state. Enjoy!
