FHL Presidents day weekend 2008 ??

[spectr17]

Weather's looking good. Yeah boy, after reading that thread about Tejon and the slaughter there this past weekend I'm gettin dizzy.

 

[ksberry209]

You guys are going to have a blast at FHL this weekend. I am jealous that I can't make it. It really is a great place to hunt and sit around the fire, drink beers, and tell war stories. Have fun and save some ham for me...when ever I get out there again.

ksberry-

Sorry again you can't make it. Yes the weather is looking good!! I suppose I'll drive down regardless and if there is some problem I'll just go camp a couple of days in the Los Padres or something. My dad is coming with me and we haven't been on a hunting/camping trip together in almost 20 years. I'll be hunting with his Remington 760 Gamemaster 30.06......a gun that in his hands has dropped more deer than I'll probably ever see, much less shoot. Hoping to add a nice hog to that gun's body count.

best of luck to all,

That sucks for a 3 day weekend.

What is 13E? Is that the old area 30?

Hep a poor man out[/b]

Jesse,
The post for the weekend Hunt will be posted tomorrow evening or the evening before the weekend of its hunt. Most times it will be similar to the previous weekend. And yes to your question 13east is what use to be 30.

No news yet on area's for the weekend. Hope to hear something tomorrow.

 

[Huntr Pat]

I'll most likely be camp in the back in the group camp sites. But it also depends on how many Training area they open.

 

[spectr17]

Cmon, need to roll a 9, 15, 10, 13E, 16, 29, 24, something good.

we where there this last weekend 1 hog taken in area 6 the weather was great and the new girl carol is very nice and helpfull there were a lot of trees down but we pulled most off the trails in area 9 and 1 we seen 1 hog in area 1 but couldnt get a shot off good luck to all hopefully they will open more tas this weekend

 

[Huntr Pat]

TOTALLY BS FHL OPENED AREA 29 IS THE ONLY AREA TO HUNT.

 

[CaliJeephuntr]

Yeah, just heard the recording that 29 is the only area open. Unless they decide to open a bunch of area's tomorrow last minute then I will not be at FHL. But I dont' think they'll open anymore. Talking to a friend they had some more troops show up mid week. So it's doubtful that more will open.

Dangit, I was lookign forward to this to.

 

[bux-n-dux]

If this is true then I can't go....I have a rifle and 29 is primitive only. So as of tomorrow morning if 29 is the only area open, I'm out. And out the 25 dollar application fee. Damn.

 

[CaliJeephuntr]

You won't be out teh 25... unless this is the only opportunity for you to go to FHL this hunting season..

 

[bux-n-dux]

Well thats good news. thanks CaliJeep......so anyone with that plan B? I think I might go up to Indian Valley res and look around, do some scouting for deer season. All this talk about Walker Ridge makes me want to visit that area....about the same distance as FHL only north. Now what am I going to do with 20 pounds of pork ribs?????

 

[spectr17]

Dayum. Deedy said they were really pumping the troops through there. Working weekends and holidays too.

Um, there is the NF to the NW of the fort. What about Camp Roberts? They open this weekend? Big Sandy for bowhunters.

The other thing to consider is FHL sometimes will open area over the weekend after the training gets done in that area.

Bring them ribs Bux, we'll find somewhere to hunt and scout.

 

[bux-n-dux]

Well guys my dad and I made the call to go into Indian Valley area. My cousin told me of some areas he's gotten pigs up there and some nice areas to camp in. My pops and I haven't been hunting together in nearly 20 years and we'd like to take advantage of this time we have. So we'll have to put a rain check on FHL, but definitely gonna hit it in the near future. Thanks to all who helped me with info and what not, especially KSberry and Jesse. I hope to meet y'all soon......and I'll get plenty more ribs for next time....I'm a butcher so no worries there guys. Best of luck to all who head to FHL and I'll let you know what my dad and I see up where we go. If anyone else from this area wants to meet us up near the reservoir as a plan B, send me an email and we will see what we can get into up there.

Give 'Em Hell,

[ksberry209]

Sorry to hear that guys...and gals!

I am really surprised that they only opend one TA for a 3 day weekend but I guess if you really think about it we should be greatful that they allow hunting on the base.

Bux - Let me know how IVR turns out. The weather should be nice this weekend. It was cool yesterday morning in the low 40's but it heated up towards 10AM.

 

[evlu]

I'm down at FHL now and they opened up alot more areas. Get down here. Call the FHL info line @ 831-386-3310 for the updated areas.

[spectr17]

I made it in to Deedy's. Dayum cold tonight. 24F they said this morning. And me without my muff.

Just missed you Evlu. I'll be at the Fort tomorrow sometime and will look for you. My cell is 951-314-5837. Looking at 25 XDhunter and 7.

Dead pig tales tomorrow hopefully.

Back to busting up the furniture here in the cabin, got a nice fire going. Don't tell Deedy or Karin.

 

[Speckmisser]

Just don't burn the commode, Jesse! You may need that.

Hope to hear some good stories tomorrow evening. A little frost ought to get things moving and keep 'em going after sunrise. Time for someone to kill a certain "ghost pig"... that's what I'm thinking!
