RE: VAFB in California
This reply might be too late. You've probably already hunted there by now. I've heard from a buddy that hunting there is great. Much better than Fort Hunter-Ligget. It's not as "burned out" as Ligget is, due to public access etc...
However, I was told when I called VAFB that a hunter must be military personnel only. I take it that you are in the military currently, correct?
