ADDITIONAL HUNTER COMMENTS AND/OR OUTFITTER/BOOKING AGENT REBUTTAL

Alfred, Shirley and Jeremy are great hosts and outfitters. They have a wonderful operation on a beautiful ranch. It's worth the visit just to see the coastline and property. Game is plentiful and well managed. I've hunted there three times have have taken deer, pig, bobcat and coyote. If you live in California, the other big plus is it's close and an easy drive for a weekend hunt. One item to note is that this ranch is not located in the B&C recognized area for black-tailed deer. It is recognized by SCI and the resident deer have all the characteristics of black-tailed deer.

ADDITIONAL HUNTER COMMENTS AND/OR OUTFITTER/BOOKING AGENT REBUTTAL

This was the second time I've hunted with Alfred on the Cojo Jalama ranch and I've already booked my third hunt with him. He runs a very good operation with very comfortable accomodations in an old Spanish Adobe. The ranch can be hunted for trophy Black-Tailed deer (my other hunt and the upcoming one) feral hogs (trophy and meat), turkey, quail and bobcat. Deer are very abundant and Alfred takes a very limited number of trophy bucks a year. (Note: the Black-tailed deer qualify for SCI but are not in the boundary recognized by B&C. Note too that the ranch is in the "Condor ranch" and only non-lead ammo is permitted.) Aside from the hunting, the ranch is worth a visit with beautiful coastline including Point Conception.

Good accommodations, guide and services. Saw target deer go to bed under large oak tree, but could not see him bedded. With strong cross wind, stalked to tree and finally saw him bedded at 10 yards! Just as I squeezed off the shot he bolted. Found some sign, but did not recover him after a long search. Animal seen several weeks later apparently recovering from flesh wound. I'll go after him next year! Equipment Recommendations: Would You Recommend This Hunt to a Friend? yes Why? Good hunt for quality deer. SCI Gold available, but outside B&C recognized area.

Alfred and Shirley are great guides and hosts. The ranch is worth the visit and quality (SCI book only, no B&C) blacktails are available. Other hunting too - I'm booked for a bobcat next year and may try for that 4X4 buck again.
