Thanks again

Hey all,
While doing trail work out in the field I happened to notice that the acorn crop is a lot lighter than it has been in the past few years. My not affect hunting this year but I’ll bet the population will be down next season. If any of you guys are out there, let me know what you think of the available food supply.
Man, I’m counting the days till November.

That's a bummer. I guess there won't be any pigs there this year. No need hunt it, I'll have to look for somewhere else hunt . Everyone else should too

 

[Lurediver]

That's it I am not hunting Sonoma either, BDB where we going?


What makes the acorn crop suffer? There was plenty of rain this year.

LD i know you are a business owner these days and you have nothing better to do than acth Oprah! but why do we have to wacth her in your avitar, put apicure of some one you really like!

[Kentuck]

LD,

Rains too late into the spring affect the polination process of the oaks.

im ready to go fishin .. cause the pig huntin will not be any good this year at the lake .. my boat is full of gas hunting stuff ready oops my fishin gear is ready and tags oops fishin stuff ready to go lol

 

[Rangerjoel]

I’m not too concerned about the pig population this year. However, if there’s not much food this year, it may affect the litter sizes. Less food means fewer babies. I’ll do the government CYA thing now and mention that the pigs do have plenty of other food sources out here so you never know what may happen. A bumper mushroom crop from a cold early winter could be a boon to them and make me look like a fool

(lets hope so!).

21 days till the opener!

Hey Joel,
Doug may be there during the opener and I'll show up after returning from a bear hunt about the third week or so.
Thanks for posting the Update.

Seventeen days to go!

Ok, I got to put on my badge for this post because I inadvertently cited a fellow board member without realizing it at the park the other day (boy do I feel like a jerk!)

.
Remember when you are hunting here this November that all of the park rules apply as well as fish and game regulations.
The ones that most frequently get broken are:

Parking in front of gates (most of witch are to fire roads or other emergency access).

Not paying the boat launch fee or camping fee. (Come on guys it 3 bucks for crying out loud!)

Don’t take any trailers out to Yorty Creek boat launch.

Don’t go onto the neighbor’s property.

Don’t stick yourself with your own arrow!

Stick to those, and we should get thru this season and probably have more land to play on next season. (That’s about the only hint I can offer for now about the 2008/2009 season.)

Good luck out there folks and I’ll see you in the field.
Joel

 

[SacFireJT]

Thanks for the update Joel!

 

[Lurediver]

Which rules has AS broken?

 

[SacFireJT]

LD leave AS alone, he is a "workaholic" now and does not need you petty distractions

 

[PIGIG]

i think we need to shave a couple of those pigs put them in a pen with LD and sacfire and see who wins

 

[Rangerjoel]

Woo Hoo!!!!

The hunts start Monday!
Sounds like a lot of you guys will be coming out Sunday so I’ll see you then.
Good Luck and don’t forget to post your hunting stories for those of us who have to work and can’t join you.
