very recently i have started looking for a hobby and i think hunting is for me. I want to go get my license in about a month and im in the process of buying a rifle (savage .22) and i would like to know if anyone has any information on hunting jackrabbit or any other small game that i can take either with a .22 or 12g shotgun in southern california; Fontana, CA to be exact. I've been loooking everywhere online but i cant locate anywhere nearby where i can just go out and shoot. Also, I need a license to hunt anything right?

any information would be much appreciated
thank you
