there is some upland hunting in the area I grew up about an hour north west from glendale and there is some decent quail hunting in the area. I used to mainly hunt cuyama area but up until last year the drought has brought the quail population down. Pretty much anywhere you can hunt deer you...

I finally got the pup out for a pheasant hunt. He has been layed up for the past month and a half because he ripped his nail off exposing the quik. We managed one nice rooster but should have brought my duck gear because that north wind had the ducks moving. All and all it was a great walk...

I've seen the number of doves rise in the last few years. I know that Oroville Wildlife Area has been putting in a lot of food plots through out there land . I did pretty good during the late season at OWA and the sac rive. I've also noticed more doves around chico.

It's pretty sad to see. There is some great cover in the area but the birds are just not there. The oroville wildlife area has some great cover but the only time I see birds there is after one of there random plants. I feel like OWA has been focusing mostly on duck and dove habitat,which does...

I've seen more pheasant this year than I have the last 5. I've seen 4 on my way to Willows and a couple on the 99 by Oroville.

Does anybody have any experience with rudder tail. I would appreciate your input or your experience with it.

Ya there are some shady individuals out there. I've come across a few stripped cars parked in some thick cover. When I go there I take only what I need and don't leave anything in sight. I have never had a problem but I've heard stories from friends. The pd has made more of a presence and there...

Sounds like a plan. I have never train a dog for hunting but I've read a few books about it.

got my new pup today. I ended up buying a yellow Lab whose grandparents are out of Dustins retrievers.Thanks for the input everyone.

Ah Oroville That's my afterwork stomping grounds. There are a lot of birds their and a few good wood duck ponds if you know where to look.

Thanks guys I think I'm going to take a look at a ess from the sacramento field test.

I was wondering if you guys knew of anybody who has a pup/dog available or a breeder that you recommend. I am leaning towards a lab or springer but am open to any other breed that doesn't mind doing a little duck hunting on occasion.

Made my first mt quail trip I didn't get any bird but had a great hike at 7000ft in beautiful country. I imagine there is a learning curve coming from hunting valley quail. It's something that I look forward to putting more time into. On a lighter note I did manage 4 native rainbows and earlier...

Its called rocket boat not jet boat

If it was me I would skip anything south of LA and save it for a trip north of San Francisco(maybe Fort Bragg area). The reason I say this is because , in LA or south, a trip that should take 2hrs can easily turn into 5hr+. I ve drove from ventura to san diego many times and its taken me 3 hrs...
