Beginner in California
 

Hello Everyone,

I am a new hunter in California. I got my license and will buy my deer tags for this year. Most probably for unrestricted zone A ,b . I am looking for a hunting group or a mentor or a group to go with them for my first hunt . I am planning to hunt using crossbow.

Please contact me.
Thank you

I recommend you join a sportsman's club and attend the meetings and get to know the other hunters in the club. You can asked questions and perhaps find someone to mentor you. You will find it difficult to to find a person who doesn't know you or never met you to volunteer to take on the responsibility of taking you hunting. Joining a club is a vary good way to meet people and let them get to know you and find a teacher.

I live around X7, but I hunt D3/D4. I haven't been to A or B. But I will say, look for areas that have a mix of open fields and trees, with food and water sources. Getting out in the woods and scouting will help. Look for droppings and tracks. I know it's hot out there in the summer. If you get a day or two of unusually cold weather, that can be a good time to scout.

They've already had the big game drawing. Here's a list of tags left.
