California is pretty under rated for hunting, mainly northern california. Blacktails, muleys & elk in the NE, plenty of hogs where I am, blackbear.
Getting tags can be kinda hard. Hogs & bear tags are OTC, deer tags depends on the zone. Not the best trophies in the world, but still fun nonetheless.
