A31 is a draw tag, archery only, buck or doe during the rut in Southern California.

This was the most difficult and dangerous hike I've ever attempted and therefore the most difficult hunt. It's during the rut so you would think it's easy and the deer are just running around not minding you. Well, not so!!

I went from upbeat and optimistic, very hopeful and positive to overwhelmed, discouraged and defeated. It was still a learning experience though.
