Joe good on you for trying today.  Tomorrow will be better.  It stopped raining in the Bay Area two hours ago and forecast is for it to not start again until mid-afternoon tomorrow.  Hopefully this will give us all a window tomorrow morning.

A little snow hunting could be fun but a little goes a long way.  Three years ago I went pheasant hunting in Central WA.  The club owner told us there was 6-12".  Turned out to be 2-3' which made for a long day of walking.

Just got an email from my snow removal company in Truckee that Squaw Valley has reported they have had more snow this year than in any other year since they opened (50-60 years old?).  And there is one month left in the season.

Well this moring was REAlly cold! BUt stilll had some fun. We were running a bit late but go there about 10 to 15 mins before day light. As we waded through waist high poison Oak for about 150 to 200 yards. I Saw the lil opening in a river bottom Ive been scouting. As we climb the lil hill I heard a gobble. We set up and started working this bird and Boom A shot range out from the land owners gun! He beat me to the old thunder chicken Ive been dreaming about for the last month. But all is fair I was on the public land near his fence.So that ended my hunt at 7:00 am. We went to another area I know of and all I saw was their tracks. Fresh stuff but My dad was beat so we called it a day and now I just walked in the door time for a shower.

Hopefully next weekend is better since We drew a limited hunt in Lake medocino. But I be goin out tomorrow and than wen. and thursday; Than Ill be leaving for the great north of Cali Friday.
Kj, I really thought I had that bird:( but there is always next time.

Juan, too bad about losing the bird you'd been scouting (especially after 200yrds of waist high poison oak).  Haven't heard any CA hunters who had luck today.

As I told you Lake Mendocino is pretty with lots of turkeys in the area and limited hunting pressure due to the draw.  Also, I believe our rain is finally supposed to clear next week.  You should have fun.  Good luck! 

I'm hunting locally tomorrow morning (hopefully between storms) and up in Solano county next weekend.
