I recently went camping on some BLM land..it’s around Bakersfield, actually just south and west of it. The exact place was called Crocker Springs, it was in the Carizzo planes area. I’m not sure how big the area is, as I’ve not seen it on a map, but I know it’s not land locked..I saw several deer there one morning and there werent TOO many people there. Only saw one or two driving off in the distance. There’s also some cows, so check that target first. Hopefully that can help you a little. -Max Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

I’m totally brand new to hunting. We, a friend and I normally go to the Mojave Desert and hunt rabiits there. But the last 4 or 5 times we’ve been there we’ve seen fewer and fewer rabbits. We are both very interested in hunting a larger animal, but we dont know where to go. We live in L.A. and are willing to travel, drive, 6 to 8 hours away. But again we dont know where. Can anyone help. Thanks in advance. Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

Santa Monica would be a good place to start,,,,,,you’d be very popular with all the animal rights wackos. Not. Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

Go to the sporting goods section in Wal-Mart, or some other store, and pick up a copy of the Dept. of Fish & Game "Big Game" booklet. Bear in mind that I might not be quoting the exact nomenclature. In this guide, you can find California broken down into different hunting zones. Check out which zones are in the southern CA area and look at the hunting statistics (number of tags issued, success rate, etc.). Then get some road and topo maps. Another great map is the national forest maps that show private versus public land, and also a lot of logging roads, etc. Pick where you might think you’d like to go, and go scout it out. Another good source is to just talk to other hunters that you either meet in your area, or in one of the areas you decide to check out. I hope that this suggestion helps you out. I can’t give you any specific suggestions because I am not familiar with southern CA. Good luck.
