Hi all. Please help. I am brand new to hunting and I am thoroughly confused with the California DFG booklets.

I live in the greater Bay Area and I' d like to go pig hunting, and deer hunting during the appropriate seasons. Does anyone know of wildlife areas that are in close(ish) proximity to the Bay Area that I can hunt in? Is there an easy guide out there as to where to hunt in Northern California?

I' m just confused about where I can hunt. The laws divide the state into zones, but that' s not as easy as a direct link to a certain place to hunt. Know what I mean? Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks in advance for help.
