Don't know where you've been, but lately the only people I've been dealing with seem to be southerners. Like is the Hollyweird word.

I like the people out here. A LOT niceer than the New Jersey people I was working with.

| High Desert
I'm holding the fort in the High Desert, Apple Valley. Love the desert. It's family and weather holding us here. I've hunted for years in Texas and elsewhere and this year for the first time since rabbit hunting 40 years ago I'm going to try deer hunting here. I'll know in a few weeks where.
It is always a little sad for me to drive thru such beautiful California countryside, like around Santa Ynez or San Luis Obisbo and NOT see deer. Countryside like that in Texas would be covered with 'em. What went wrong here? Why can't we get a good management program and build up the numbers? And don't even get me started on elk. Some areas have exactly ONE tag available. That's just sad for such a large state.
But still, excuse me while I go take a dip in the pool, fire up the BBQ and enjoy the sunset with a cool drink.

Currently living in Houston, TX, but I'm moving to Bakersfield this summer for work. Never lived farther west than Colorado and Wyoming, so this ought to be a change. I think the gun laws are pretty dumb, but I'm just leaving all the offending weaponry in TX with my parents for a few years.
Now I need to find a place to go blast varmints. Its been 3 years since my 22-250 got any sort of a workout and its thirsty for blood.

| hot and humid to 3 miles from the sun
Houston to Bakersfield? That's almost literally from the frying pan to the fire! The good news is you will probably be close to some good varmint hunting... and little else.

Hotter but no humidity. Cooler at night too. Pollution sucks both places although I give the edge to Bakersfield though. We're not jazzed about the higher housing prices, but the professional opportunity for me is the main reason to go.

Well there's a ton of BLM land down there that I'm sure you could go blast Coyotes on...

Or if you needed to be close to the city you could live in Forsyth or Hall County. Neither is too expensive and very nice places to live in.
Or you could say the hell with it and move back to Cali. How does the wife feel about that? |
Yeah north ga is great all country but can be in downtown Atlanta in 45 minutes for some fun. I just bought a 200,000 dollar house for 124,000 can't do that in California . 4 bedrooms 2.5 baths 2 living rooms a basement , a workshop . man i love my new house.

Well, right now I'm in Monterey County (Salinas River Valley area) and am only here because of work. Just found this forum, registered because there seems to be intelligence on this planet....
I am a native of California, left to live on south Oregon coast, but Oh God, now I'm back to live in Kalifornia. It's an incredible piece of real estate, but now it seems like most of the people here are idiot/sheep and the politics have gone to socialism/hell in a ballot box. Love to stay after I retire, but don't know if I'll be able to afford the cost of living here and supporting the politics/sheep.... Anyhow, Greetings to all!
P.S.: I like shooting .22LR, 9mm, .45ACP, .223, .308, and a couple more calibers, and would like to get back to flyfishing, probably when I retire....

Welcome to the forum KCAutoBob!
Guess I never posted here, but as I have said before, Chico CA. home of CSU Chico and Sierra Nevada Brewery (hooray for homegrown beer)! And I refer to us as in the real North part of CA; Sacramento on up. Central CA encompasses SF, since they are a different breed of people. I swear you get people stuck in a big city and they go a little crazy!
People can talk trash about CA, and I can complain about the gun laws all I want, but that doesn't change the fact that California is a great place to live. There is a huge diversity of people here (two words: college girls!), food, beautiful places, accessable to so many places, and the weather is always nice (except that 112 degree heat about an hour north of here).
So I can't have extended magazines... I am a revolver guy anyway!

Hey man... I live in the SF Bay Area... I'm not weird :-P.
Coming from someone who used to live in a free state, it really bites to have to use a smaller mag. Although technically it's not illegal to own/possess standard capacity mags. It's just illegal to sell or manufacture them.
That being said, the statute of limitations on making/selling them is 3 years and the burden of proof is on the state...

If you can't have more bullets, then we just have to find a way to rechamber everything to bigger bullets, aim for a .50 GI!
I dunno, there sure are a lot of grumpy people down in the Bay Area, of course I think the reason we are pretty laid back is due to the fact we are down wind of Humboldt County....
