This video was taken by me near the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. We we driving back from our hunting spot around 2 in the afternoon.

The view was incredible! The video doesn't do it justice.
Do any of you have pictures or video of cool hunting or fishing spots?

Here is a photo of a little piece of the land I hunt in Mendocino County, Ca.

Here is a photo of the same area from a whole other angle.

Very cool! What's your success rate there? I only hunt in Washington(out of state can get expensive!)

I haven't been skunked in 11 years! (knock on wood) In Ca, the limit is 2 bucks, most years I get two, but last season, and three years ago, I only got one. This last season was rough, the only legal bucks I saw were the kind that explode out of the brush and disappear in a half second. You know how those sneaky, ghostlike Blacktails are! On closing Sunday, at 10:00 AM, I finally found a buck willing to stand still long enough to shoot him. A small buck, one that I would have passed up any other weekend, but the younguns are the best eating. I only hunt in-state as well. Can't afford to hunt out of state.

well, I've been hunting for the last 4 years and have never been successful. My dad likes to hike up into the nastiest, steepest places to look for animals in remote locations. We go for a week each year and he is usually successful, but I am yet to see a buck. I guess I'll just keep trying!
