I'm narrowing down my choices of where to go. Being city bound in the South means I'm driving. E-scouting the foothills of the El Dorado forest and over on the coast in the Santa Lucia range. I'm open to any suggestions and not looking for any super specific secret spots. Thanks for any...
I posted this in the general topics thread. Here is the link. https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/ca-approves-hunter-safety-class-100-online-due-to-coronavirus.298494/
Good news for those here in California who for whatever reason have not been able to attend the second portion of hunter safety class in person. California has just revised the requirement to do the in-person portion of the class. You may now take your hunter safety course 100% online. We...
I'm sure most here are not in CA, but if you are, what would be your 3 choices from this list? I've not been to any of these areas so any tips would be welcome. The numbers are the actual hunt IDs. Thanks!

The draw was 2 days ago. I'm a noob and not sure when I should expect results. All my applications (draw, youth(for the boy), and special lotto tags) are listed as "pending". I did win some special bird "draw" hunts, so I know they are at least doing some sort of work ;-)
I Was able to get my son out on a pheasant hunt this last Saturday and he shot his 2 bird limit(i did too). This was a hunt sponsored by the CA DFW and was a planted bird hunt to encourage new hunters and get people excited about the sport. I know most here scoff at a planted hunt, but for...
If you're not aware, here is an article outlining the horrible mess the National park service has created.

Going dove hunting in Yuma and noticed a fair amount of AZ govt. owned but leased to ag. land. Is it OK to hunt over that land as long as you respect the crop and clean up after yourself(empties)?
The opening scene in the pilot slams hunters with every possible negative stereotype from the beer drinking littering redneck to dentists who apparently only shop at Walmart(for some reason) and even the venerable .223(like the writer would even know what a .223 was). Simply stunning in its...
Not sure how typical this is since I'm a noob deer hunter, but there are apparently lots of tags left at this point. Well, not in the unit I wanted which was D17 but in quite a few. I'm in Southern CA and can't stray too far this year. Any suggestions of the units remaining that might hold...
Has anyone been successful at drawing one? Looks like a hidden gem. I don't even big game hunt, but I might if I drew. 400+ for the tag if you draw. but I did a SHARE dove/quail hunt last fall and while the property was amazing, the number of birds were not. Not the places fault though.
