Varmint Hunting: update
« on: December 22, 2014, 12:39:38 PM »
Hey guys, this is how it works with me:

Adventure>4wheel>Xterra>SCCX>cool guys>comms>ham raido>Fallbrook Radio Club>old guys with guns>AR223 5.56>

Rainbow gun club> reloading>shoot pretty good>wanna go kill something>cool guys into hunting>SCCX

Anyone into varmint hunting?  I still need to get license and stupid hunting class card.  

Any tips, anyone interested?

Thanks, Duffman

Absolutely interested. 

Do you need a hunting license for varmints?  Or are there specific varmints you are interested in?

When I took mine at Bass Pro Shop I had to pay a fee to save my spot and and after I passed the class they gave me back a gift certificate for the amount I paid. I don't know if they still do that but it was a nice deal.

Thanks Goon, I like the sound of that deal.
Terry and I both need to make a phone call I think.

Is there anyone else with experience who's interested.  I'm thinking coyotes cuz we don't have prairie dogs ;)
I know that I need the class cert. and a license.
I've read all the F&G.gov crap until I'm thoroughly confused about where I can and can't go.
I'm not looking to steal anyones secret spot, just some fun without going to jail.
Thanks, guys

I know of a few places. You really just need to be 300' from any dwelling or road (about 150 yards) and just use some common sense. Rifle rounds could travel a lot more than 300'.

Once you get your license, coyotes are open season. If you want to get into fowl for big game there are seasons.

It's open season on coyotes, and with the Russian Razor backs it's open season, but you still need a tag which are $25 each the last time I checked. No nuthin required for ground squirrels.

Yeah the ground squirrels around my house have been 'open season' since I moved here ;)
If we got razor backs in so.cal, I'll get a couple of tags. (And my .308)
Thanks guys, I'm off to hunting school (California dogma indoctrination).
When I get my sh** together, I will post up a hunt/4wheel date.
Thanks again.

OK guys, I got my license and hunter safety card from Pro Bass, thanks for the tip Goon.  The class is free and good forever and the license is $48., July to July.  Be sure to get your Adventure Pass for parking in the woods.  Buy two and split the cost with an SCCXer, it's way cheaper.  I still got your pass Ghost. 
I'm off to talk with local forrest offices to find out where exactly hunting is legal.

Contact the department of fish and game for that info,  varmint hunting is a wonderful pastime  that I do often.   I know of quite  a few places  out on my neck of the woods where  the ground squirrels and rabbits  run all over the place.   Hit me up sometime,  we'll  have a blast!

I'm in...   Got my license (Grandfathered because I had a hunting license from Utah within two years prior).   I'm armed and loaded in a big way   ;D   and ready to go.   Just name the time and place.   Let's go!!

That's great news Terry.

So Randy and I went out last Friday and were able to sight in on a few critters and actually able to hit something once too! Had a blast Randy, looking forward to the next one!
