Sacramento, and in fact, all of northern and central CA. has fantastic hunting. Blacktail all the way from westof Bakersfieldto the Oregon border (okay, I know the DFG classifies the A zone as mule deer), Mule deer all the way up the entire eastern side of the state; Hog hunting everywhere; bears up the wazoo, and tons of public ground to hunt with high game populations assuming you are willing to walk.And then there is thedove, quail, ducks, geese, rabbits, varmits,preditors, andturkeys coming along,not to menting the Delta, the lakes, etc. with huge BASS and Trout.If you are worried about hunting, stop and move! Email me if you come and I can get you started on some great areas to hunt - but be warned, if you are from back east and huntbig game over food plots, or out of stands with a "harvest one" attitude, and are used to100 yard shots, you will absolutely need a new rifle, and you will absolutely have to change your hunting technique. On the other hand, when you get your first Blacktail, you will have taken the second most challenging big game animal to hunt in the entire U.S.

From Sacramento, you are within three hours of every species mentioned, and in some areas, the hunting is exceptional.
