I hunted with them the second week in 2013 and the first week in 2014. I could not say there was any difference between the two. Same great food, same great camp, same great people. Enjoy a great hunt.

Either week will suit you just fine. jim and tinamarie know almost every buck on their ranches by then. You'll have a blast and you're hunting with some of the best there is. lots of bucks and they seem to always have book deer come off their place every year. Have fun and let us know how it goes

Either would be good. Bucks should still be in velvet both weeks in that area. I have never hunted with Jim and Tina Marie, but have hunted blacktails a fair amount along the coast up there. I personally like hunting velvet bucks as early in the season as possible, but on their ranches there won't be much pressure so you will have a good hunt anytime. They run a great operation and shoot some great archery blacktails! Good luck

Are there no options to hunt later in the Fall? I assume not. This is probably useless information, but if I was from out of the area and wanted a blacktail, I would do anything to hunt later in the fall- even if it meant hunting Washington or Oregon. In the fall they get big necks, white throat patches, snowball faces, black caps and dark horns- all the amazing colors that make them blacktaily. For that matter, the further north you go, the prettier they get. Hunting them in July would be like going to Labrador to catch brook trout in June. Sure, they're still brook trout, but in a few more months they will look like BROOKTROUT!! If P & Y is the only goal then none of this matters of course. DS

I would agree with fall hunt. You'll get opportunity in July and in velvet for sure but for me I would take a rut hunt in November. only because I would love to rattle one in. You'll still have a blast in July and have a chance a big one

Our coastal blacktail season here in CA opens in July- usually over 100 deg in many areas at that time of year... hunting mostly German Shepard size deer.
The other zones north and inland have a later start date...

Archery season in California's B-4 zone closes August 16th this year. Arrow 5 does a lot of their archery hunts in Zone B-4 but they also have another property that is in the Private Land Management Program that allows hunting late into November. The P.L.M. hunts are a lot more costly than the early season hunts in Zone B-4! It's possible to hunt the rifle season in Zone B-4 with a bow in September but that would be a tougher hunt! 1rst archery hunt would be your best if hunting the B-4 ranch!
