D16 UNICORN

[jstark2013]

Just sharing and looking for some D16 advice. I mentioned in a previous post last year that it was my first year hunting in San Diego County. Navy moved me out here. I appreciate all the encouragement and even though it's tough to find success here, the process is totally worth it!

I ended up harvesting a little forkie and have completely fallen in love with how HARD it is to hunt in San Diego county. Needless to say, I've put another 100 miles or so on foot in just about every location.

I bumped a BEAST 3X4 this morning (see video)! Wondering if anyone can provide some advice. How would you approach trying to keep track of him? What's the best method to try to re-locate him most efficiently?

Thanks all!

P.s. does anyone happen to know any outdoorsman or hunting groups that get together somewhat regularly out here. Would love to connect with some hunters who are as passionate as I am.

Dude that’s awesome! I moved to San Diego for work, and it’s great city I’ve been doing some scouting as well!

Henry! My son's name - good name. Yea, San Diego is terrific. Best advice (as someone who is new to SD deer hunting) is to go as remote as possible - you have to REALLY work for it. Bring lots of water!

Looks like you're on to them, I sent you a PM. Keep doing what you're doing, glass the area you spotted the buck in from a distance if you can without disturbing him too much.
