Anyone tried camping in hunter management areas?

Been looking at some HMA maps and wondering if anyone's tried camping inside these areas during hunting season. Seems like it could be a game changer for access, but not sure about the rules. Any experience with overnight stays in HMAs? #hunting #Outdoors #HMA #HuntingLands

old school hunters got shot placement right

Unless you're a sniper, stick to what works - tight behind the shoulder through the lungs and heart. It's been the gold standard for decades because it drops deer fast and leaves a clear blood trail. Study deer anatomy before season and practice visualizing your aim point on every deer you see, even ones you're not shooting. When that moment comes, you'll know exactly where to put it. What's your go-to shot placement? #hunting #deerhunting #huntingtips #outdoors

What's your hiking limit?

I pushed my hiking limit over the weekend, I can't believe I walked 4.5 miles in two hours and fifty minutes. But I had a bad experience this time and kept my head down the whole time. Not relaxation, but another sense of tension. Never mind, there's good and bad. To a certain extent, I also pushed my limits and set a new record out, which is also worth celebrating! Hahaha. #Outdoors #Hiking #Limits

What's your biggest fear of encountering during a hike?

My friend told me yesterday that he seemed to have encountered a grizzly bear when he went hiking over the weekend 😮 He said he was a bit far away at the time but it looked like a grizzly bear by the size and coloring. The bear didn't move, he didn't dare move, and they just stood there for several minutes. After the thing left, he turned around and went down the mountain immediately #Outdoors #Hiking #grizzly bear

Why don’t fishing guys play with their cell phones?

I was walking last night and saw many fishing friends sitting quietly fishing or casting their rods frantically. They didn't look at their phones or chat, but sat there for hours. #Outdoors #Fishing #Cellphone

why hunters lose deer they should have found

After you shoot, pick a specific landmark where you last saw the deer - "that pine with the broken branch" not just "over there." Everything looks different from ground level and you'll be way off track otherwise. Then wait 1-2 hours before tracking. I've watched too many hunters rush down and push wounded deer for miles. Patience saves more deer than anything else. What's your worst tracking story? #hunting #deerhunting #huntingtips #outdoors

this spot produces turkeys 90% of the time

New to public land? Skip the fancy scouting and head straight to water sources - creeks, ponds, rivers. Turkeys need water daily and these spots are wildlife magnets. It's the most reliable pattern I've found for locating birds fast. Works every single time. #hunting #turkeyhunting #publicland #huntingtips #outdoors

old trapper taught me this coyote secret

Setting coyote traps isn't just about placement - you need the right attractant to bring them to that exact spot. I use a combo of beaver castor, fox urine, and curiosity scents at each set. You can buy commercial baits or make your own with a meat grinder and deer scraps. The key is using multiple attractants so any coyote passing by will investigate. What's your go-to bait recipe? #hunting #coyotetrapping #trappingtips #outdoors

Chips Rock Hike Magic

7.3-mile challenging loop near Poway—4h20m of steep, narrow trails to conquer. Hunt for that iconic "potato chip" boulder (prime photo op!) and summit Mt. Woodson for sweeping Pacific views. Open year-round, dog-friendly (leash required). Pack gallons of water, sunscreen—turn back if H2O hits half. Hot days? Skip if new to hiking. Weekday parking at Lake Poway? Free. Sweat now, smile forever. #Outdoors #Hiking #ChipsRockHike #PowayHikes #DogFriendlyTrails
