Bridgeport is located right about in the very middle of deer hunting Zone X-12
(A-20). This section of the Eastern Sierra in California is well known for
producing some fine quality Mule Deer.

The A-20 archery season generally starts around the third weekend in August,
and the X-12 rifle season the thrid weekend of September, however, these are
both limited entry zones and you usually need to have your applications in by
around the first of June. Whatever you do, don't delay too long after the new  
hunting licenses and applications come out to get in on the draw for this great
zone.

Zone X-12.
(A) Area: That portion of Mono County within a line beginning at the junction of
the California-Nevada state line and Highway 167 (Pole Line Road); west on
Highway 167 to Highway 395; north on Highway 395 to Virginia Lakes Road; west
on Virginia Lakes Road to the Virginia Lakes Trail (Entry Trail D11); northwest on
the Virginia Lakes Trail to the Mono-Tuolumne county line; north along the
Mono-Tuolumne county line to the Mono-Alpine county line; northeast along the
Mono-Alpine county line to Indian Springs Road; northeast on Indian Springs
Road to the California-Nevada state line; southeast on the California-Nevada
state line to the point of beginning.

An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this week, which I quote: "If you consider that
there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the past 22 months,
and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

The firearm death rate in Washington , DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means you are
about 25 per cent more likely to be shot and killed in the US capital, which has some of the strictest gun
control laws in the US , than you are in Iraq .

Conclusion: "The US should pull out of Washington .
