I know nothing about Ca. turkeys,but welcome.Is there any public ground to hunt on down there or is it all private? I did hear there is allot of birds in the wine country of No. Cal.

I used to hunt S.D. and then moved to Denver. If you ask me, S.D. might be the best unknown in the country. Where are you at in S.D.? I grew up in Poway.

i hunt north east ramona, and just yesterday, got 6 places that are full of turkeys to hunt. you just dress nice, and respectfully go ask for permission by landowners, and they will give it to you.

That's is good land up there. I know there is an old probation camp near Lake Henshaw. There is open land behind that camp. If you can find a way back there, I would almost garuntee a buck and a bird every year. Good Luck!

Lakeside, CA here! There are plenty of turkey's around here however they tend to stick to private property due to the land owners feeding them. I have some spots that I've found during the deer season so hopefully they are still there? It will be my first year Turkey hunting.
