I have a bunch of stories, pictures and video from this year. A bunch of them here in this section of the forum. I think season is over for us, the weather is terrible, and if it clears there is most likely gonna be too much snow to get around. Only 2 weeks left. It's been a good year here for us. I'm almost ready for a break (not! I will be counting down until next season) I guess I have to wimp out and take these sorry dogs of mine coon hunting.

We treed a lot of bear this year with just our 3 dogs, most the time we only used 2. And a couple times it was just my one dog. Not bad for coondogs? LOL. Actually thats making coondogs look bad, I dont own a real coondog. :wink: We also had fun and hunted with friends and family, haven't done that much in a few years. I'm at a point now where I seen what my dogs can do and feel comfortable hunting with other people and knowing they aren't just riding tails.

I heard were supposed to have a lot of hard rain, and tons of snow up high this winter. I don't see that happening, its already December and this is really the first good storm? Last year I had 2ft of snow here at this time. We aren't even forcasted to get snow for who know how long. I can do without the cold though. We had record lows, single digits here. That don't happen much in Cali.

Only 9 more months to go! ;)

I'm really suprised season closed early again this year. Two in a row. I hope they don't try and do away with the quota this year like they wanted to last year. Just so they don't have to send us closure notices.
