Ventucopa used to be one of my go to places, north east side up against the hills. There is a ring road where the agriculture meets the wild country, mostly dirt farm road. Dove, Quail, Chukar, Jack Rabbit, Coyote and occasionally Hogs and Deer.
Jack Rabbit used to be one of my favorites and while doing that I could scout tracks.
Jacks are actually good eating, especially when they live in/near the Alfalfa fields.
