Atta boy, Canuck!

Warning: The use of cast boolits for the purpose of hunting can be adictive.

Well yea we see them buffalo all the time. The blasted things leave them frozen lumps all over the road and its awful hard on vehicles. The plow guy told me he takes a pounding from them frozen fertilizer mounds.
They even ran interferance on my moose hunt, blasted shaggy beasts!
I dont know of any other place in the country that has the buffalo crossing signs like we have on our stretch of Alaska hiway.
Makes me feel like Ralph Cramden, one a deaz days, POW!

Not wanting to go TOO FAR astray here, I recently (one week ago) had a strange occurrence in my hunting area. Bullshop's comments about hunt interference prompt this, and I should note that I had the CZ rifle and cast boolits on board at the time. So, it's on topic enough. I think.

The area from which I got this year's deer--and tried mightily to score a second one--is located near a USFS primitive campground that sees some summer use, but none for the duration of deer season that we observed. I got established in place about 3 P.M. on Saturday afternoon, and there still were no people in or around the campground. Good. I walked back to my "prime" spot along a runway I found, and waited around for an hour or so. No critters. I walked back down the trail to the spot I could overlook the campground, and saw that a tent had been set up back in the trees, and several vehicles were parked in the trees outside the campground limits. Loud voices accompanied this observation--well, it IS a holiday weekend, what the heck.

After a few minutes, I turned to head back to my ambush spot when I heard THE LOUDEST MUSIC I had ever been witness to start up from the campsite. It was "techno" music, the featured stuff of rave parties.

Oh, CRAP.

Rave parties in this area occur in rural locations, and feature hundreds--sometimes thousands--of attendees, most of whom drink--some of whom take all manner of drugs. The end results are often sexual assaults, drug overdoses, search/rescues, and incredible damage to countryside. Fatalities are occasional occurrences.

Of more immediate concern was the prospect of hundreds of vehicles coming down the single-lane USFS road to access the site, effectively trapping my partner and I in place--perhaps overnight. Oh, HELL NO.

We got our aspirations OUTTA THERE post haste, and I called the resident deputy to tell him what I saw. He met me on the roadway inbound while I was heading out--I filled him in further, and he had USFS close/lock the gates on both ends of the road we were on to prevent party-goers from descending on the site. He gave me a key to get out, which I left with his wife after we exited and re-secured the gate.

I hate being a kill-joy, but having worked cases flowing from "raves" in the past--and not wanting a VERY NICE portion of National Forest getting trashed out--I think I did the right thing to call the law. Deer hunting in California--in spite of the marijuana grows, rave parties, and Angelenos--it's still a lotta fun. An adventure, for damn sure.

Allen you have well cheared me up. Makes me quite happy to have only buffalo to deal with in my hunting. Well theres bears too but tags for those are rather easy to procure. Our shop is a hunting fishing trapping license vender for the state and resident bear tags of eather color are an over the counter item. To stay on topic we have proven on several ocasions that the Marlin 45/70 with any one of the RCBS gas check trio will do an impresive job making good bears of bad ones when pushed to the full capability of the Marlin!
