Well, it’s finally here! Tomorrow morning, one-half hour before sunrise will herald the official start of the 2010 California deer hunting season! Best of all, I’ll be out there, Mathews Drenalin in hand, hoping to hang my first CA archery tag on a blacktail buck.
I’ve been waiting eagerly all spring and summer for this, especially since I haven’t even had a chance to chase hogs over the past few months. The jones has been particularly bad over the last two or three weeks. I’ve had to turn down a couple of guiding opportunities over at Native Hunt due to work obligations, and I know those guys had some great hunts going on.
This weekend, as I mentioned before, I’ll be joined in the field by Josh, a regular commenter here and an excellent blogger in his own right. You can see his blogs at Ethics and the Environment and Lands On The Margin, and read what he’s thinking about too. I think he’s just about as ready to get out and hunt as I am!
The video and still cameras will be along, and maybe I’ll even actually get some footage this trip. Stay tuned!

Good luck! I know i would have a very difficult time concentrating on anything today other than my gear and getting out there. I am envious, yet looking forward to some video and still shots. Fling some arrows and bring down a beast.
