Got my first ever hunting license

[BillytheKid]

So, the guy behind the counter was telling me " strange, the machine won't issue a deer tag, but it'll issue a bear tag "

I said "Isn't that backwards?. It's California, you'd think all of the green freaks would want to protect the bears more than the deer? "

Congrats on your first hunting license, good luck out there!

I would have snached that up. Il. has no bear hunting.
Be safe, have fun and post the pics.

Congratulations and welcome to a wonderful and addictive sport. I can't imagine life without hunting.
Good luck and be careful.

Thank you, I've been shooting most of my life, but just never hunted. My brother will be along, and I'm in very good hands.

I did pick up the bear tag, and I might still be able to pick up a deer tag once I reach "A Zone".

Ok guys, leaving at Oh-Dark-Thirty tomorrow morning for my bear hunt. See you in a week!

Good luck and be safe. Perhaps you will be entered in WC 2011 hunting contest. Keep us posted.

Returned from my first hunting trip.

I am safe, and so are any bears. LOL
