Duck Hunting: Where do I go?
Question:
I just move to Ridgecrest, Ca and am an avid duck hunter. My black lab has been after me to get on the internet to see if I could find any information on where to go out here. Can anyone help?

Yea, it is kind of a drag trying to hunt ducks in the desert. You will need to travel, and be versatile. You basically have three choices as I see it: 1. Go north to Independence/Big Pine/Bishop. Buy a 4×4 and a USFS map of Inyo National forest. Obtain and train a a good retreiver. Obtain a canoe and personal floatation device. Find a freind equiped likewise. Prowl the dirt roads that follow the Owens River and the river channel below the aquaduct intake. Drop one vehicle off down-stream and launch upstream. Bowman shoots while helmmsman steers. Trade places. People have died doing this. I have heard Klondike Lake is huntable and there our a few lakes in the valley floor – see your USFS map and bring a light vessel. There is also a network of ponds east of Bishop, again a boat would be needed. 2. Travel south to the state run refuges (San Jacinto, Wister). 3. Travel west to the state run refuges (Kern, Mendota). I am sure your local hunters would have some better ideas. Mark
