anyone here from northern ca?

Not as far north as I'd like to be. I'm in Modesto. Would much prefer Nv.
Have a lot of my wifes' family in the Redding and Mc Arthur areas.

i'm at Beale Air Force Base just outside Yuba City. havn't done any hunting out here yet, just fishing. Looking to kill some coyotes this fall.

I am from Elk Grove which is just south of Sacramento. Beale Air Force Base is located adjacent to the 11,000 acre Spenceville Wildlife Area so MTairman is very conveniently located to a good hunting spot, particularly for turkeys.

windsor, which is just north of Santa Rosa, and a hour and a half roughly north of San Fran

Elk Grove CA for me.... SP10--- you done any hunting this summer/fall yet?

where/what do yall hunt? i hunt duck/goose at Delevan and Sac NWRs and turkey on private land

blacktails, pig, turkey, bear, quail, dove all on public land......unfortunately i don't have private land access

Not yet, but I have just ordered 20 rounds of 10 guage Remington HD shot (10 rounds each of #2 and BB) for the start of waterfowl season. I hope we get some rain this Fall that will flood the Sacramento Bypass Wildlife Area. Even though it is only 4 miles from downtown Sacramento, when there is some standing water in it, this area attracts a surprising number of ducks and geese and is shallow enough that it can be hunted in waders without a dog. The only down side to this area is that there are some slobs who seem to think it is the city dump and leave large piles of trash there. I also plan some turkey and pheasant hunting at Feather River. I was also thinking about wild boar hunting in Cache Creek, Indian Valley or Spenceville but those places are kind of far for me to drive these days. Have you made any plans for the season?

SP10 :

sounds like a good plan. I have never hunted there for ducks/geese. I did hunt for them up at feather river with no sucess for two years so i have not hunted ducks/geese in past two years. I was able to connected on a good 3x3 blacktail. Heading back up on the opener for rifle to fight the crowds and see if our group (family) can get one. there are a few turks out at the feather river, but i have only seen them in the winter. Cache creek does hold pigs, very few and in 3 years of hunting them i was only able to see 1.

going to finish out rifle season for deer and possibley get a bear tag to try and connect on one of them. I have never eaten bear and would like to see if i like it or not.

good luck on your ducks/geese and turks this year.
