FHL

I see that FHL was open this past weekend with a ton of TA open. Did anyone make it over there? I'm planning on heading over on June 17th, so if any JHO'rs are around, come by for a cold one.

My buddy and I went on Saturday, May 13, arriving at FHL in the pre-dawn hours and at check-in we chose Area 30. It is a walk-in, muzzyloader, archery or shotgun slug only area. My buddy who is a meticulous animal sign reader could find only 1 set of fresh piggie tracks on the creek drainage which is about 2.5 miles long. Indicating the animals are holding tight in the impenetrable thickets bordering the creek banks all along the length of the creek drainage. With the hot sun cooking up the temperature at about 12:30 PM, we decided that no piggie will come out in the hot temperatures and the chances of spotting one in the thickets or even in the open were zilch, zero, nada, not gonna' happen. So we decided to change the hunting area to one that has a reservoir and no flowing creek/river to ambush the thirsty piggies at sundown. Well, we reached the hunter check-in station at 1:03 PM and that office closes at 1:00 PM so we missed the chance to change the Hunting Area. We just decided to scoot on to homeward bound to L.A. and come back for piggie hunting some other time, preferably in the winter/spring seasons when the daytime temps are cooler and more conducive to piggies roaming around much later in the morning after sun-up. FHL is just a beautiful, enchanting well preserved place that the hike in the scenery alone is well worth it for me. Those FHL pigs are getting fat and heavy from all the greeneries. 'Nuff said.

My deer/elk hunting partner went up there yesterday afternoon to hunt it this weekend. If there's a story to tell, I'll be sure to pass it on here...
