REDDING – California Sportsman hunting contributor Scott Haugen is no stranger to difficult conditions in the field, but arriving for the first blacktail hunt of the year in a sweltering 109-degree day was a new challenge.
Haugen, who wrote about early season tactics back in the August issue of CS, did what a veteran hunter does best: he adjusted to the conditions.
Result: 1-for-1 on blacktail bucks.
