I am in the navy and I am getting ready to move to california and was wondering if there is any good turkey hunting in california?

As far as I know yes there is very good population of wild turkeys and I do think they have a 3 bird limit is some areas. While I have not conact with any California hunters my suggestion would be to contact the fish and game department.

They should be able to help you!

I'll keep an eye for for a california contact for you.

well san diego is far from me...i would go to www.dfg.ca.gov and check out the F&G lands down that area. i don't think there are too many turks down that way..you can also look at National forest lands down that area. sorry i don't have any more advice.

your quite some distance from me, im north of San Fran, but in San Diego there is turkeys, they are just more scattered and harder to hunt, we have Rio's and in some places Merriams around here
