I live in Norcal, but I am down south alot visiting my mom and stepdad, I have been trying to find someone to go with down there for a while, I just want to see some different country and see what its like running dogs down there.

I agree with Mike I believe a spring Bear hunt would sure help.... seems like the bears this year are moving right on through down to the ranches and starting to work on the calfs.
