CA Mule Deer Hunt Opportunity
Yes, this is an “ad”. But, hey… if you can’t use your blog to your own ends, then what’s the point of having one, right?
Seriously, here’s the deal. As some of you probably have read, Coon Camp Springs gets four PLM (Private Land Management) deer tags every year. In order to fund our habitat restoration projects, we sell those tags as fully guided, outfitted hunts. We’re able to set our dates late in the year, so that our hunts generally coincide with the local rut.
We’ve done pretty well so far, with 100% shot opportunity for our clients, and this year is looking like a real good one. The work we’ve done on the place is paying off with a big increase in water sources and native plant life, and we’ve already seen some really nice bucks on the place.
What are the details?
First of all, this is up in the eastern Sierra, in the X3A hunt zone of Lassen County. No draw is required. Just bring in a regular, over-the-counter deer tag (e.g. A zone) or a completed tag application, and we’ll exchange the PLM tag for it. There are two tags left, and we’re looking for $3000/tag. The hunt will be the first week of November, from Sunday , November 1 through Sunday, November 8.
The hunts are fully guided (2-on-1) and outfitted. All you really need to bring is your deer tags, gun and ammo, and personal effects. We’ve got lodging, hot meals, hot showers, and a comfortable camp. Travel around the ranch will be provided, as will basic field care. We can recommend local taxidermists and meat processing if needed. We’re on the place several times a month, and will have it scouted out prior to your arrival.
And here’s one of the best things… because of our 501(c), non-profit status, the cost of the hunt (less the $62.50 for the tags) is tax deductible! That’s right, you’ll get a write-off for going deer hunting!
If you’re interested, you can contact me directly at the Hog Blog, and I’ll get things rolling.
Oh yeah.. and if you didn’t know already… your guide on this hunt is none other than your’s truly!
Can I buy a tag? Just kidding. Phillip, thanks for using up your bandwidth to advertise the hunts. This economy is really taking a toll on the offers we are getting.
I just got back from a week on the property putting up fence and planting browse. We saw three really nice, and I mean REALLY nice bucks while driving out to the Aspen grove. They were still in velvet and way out past the tips of their ears. I put up some cameras in the area so hopefully I will have some pics next week.

Wish I had that kind of money. Furloughs are no bueno.

Dave, I think we can come up with a special deal just for you. Just email me that American Express number, and I’ll let you know when it’s all set up.

I’m with Cazadora on this one. Private furlough for me, but nonetheless…
It sounds great, though!

The American Express number won’t work anymore. For some reason it has a “minus” sign in front of it.

Dangit, Dave… don’t you hate when that happens. I guess you’ll just have to let someone else buy those tags.
As far as “furloughs”, Josh and Holly… I’m there with ya. Had to cancel my CO elk hunt this year because of my own, personal six month furlough.

I am a member of a hunting club in the B-zone and we’re interested in starting the PLM program with DFG. If you wouldn’t mind sparing a few minutes, I’d like to learn more about your experience in the program. You can email me or call me @ 925-525-0138. Thanks

Jeff,
I’ll see if our club president would be available to chat with you. He’s been the one most involved in setting up our program, and yeah, there have been some serious headaches involved.
