Upland Birds / Re: Newbie quail hunter
« Last post by salt n sage90 on Today at 10:46:32 AM »
Find russian olives surrounded by sagebrush and cattails. They're hard to find once you dump them so mark them well. Also just listen, you can hear them chirping alot of the time.
No need for a fancy gun but I like a smaller gauge. Royal city, Potholes, Moses Lake. Quail are all over the place. But if you find tumbleweed patches make sure to wear some chaps, those things hurt.

Turkey Hunting / Where should i hunt turkeys? Can anyone help?
« Last post by birddogdad on Today at 09:26:59 AM »
I often see this question asked pretty much first week of April each year by those who are new to the sport. Well, RIGHT NOW is the time to "road hunt" for those places you can possibly get in come springtime~

The fall brings great advantage to turkey hunters when they bunch up for winter and come low to farm areas for food and safety. I would say that you want to pin these large groups as you drive around the state and come spring use these pins to branch out "up and behind"  in accessible mountain areas adjacent to where you see them now. Yes, some will stay close to the farm areas but most will walk miles to high grounds for the spring breeding.

Oh and one more thing, don't wait till the last minute to get your TSS ammo, especially with tariffs and China going on!

Seafood may be super gay but it will sure get you a lot of access to hunt when all else fail's !

Deer Hunting / Re: Any buck clarification

Found it. I thought I was going crazy for a minute
Under any buck / bull

So, what’s the definition of hairline?    I still think an over one inch button buck is still legal as the button sticks above the hairline.

I don’t see any talk of hair covering an antler in the regs. 
An antler point must be at least one inch long measured on the longest side. 
Any buck is any deer with a visible antler.
To me, a button buck, with at least one inch long buttons, that are still hair covered is considered a legal “any buck”, even if there is as only a single button showing.

The legal definition of antler is where you will find that it is a horn like growth projecting above the hairline, if the antler has not broken through the hair it is not by legal definition an antler.  This of course does not apply to velvet. 

Length has nothing to do with legal antler except in point minimum areas.  A button that is seen as a horn like growth above the hairline can essentially be flat and still be a legal buck.  Legal antler and legal antler points are defined separately.

I don't want to look at the regs right now but my recollection is for any buck the visible antler just had to be visible above the hairline with no length requirement.  Meaning a nub that you can see is antler not still covered by hair is a legal buck.

The length requirement was 1" to be a legal antler point in the point minimum areas.

Correct, was just going to type this exact same thing, you just beat me to it...  :chuckle:
