I just moved to Newbury Park (Thousand Oaks) this week. Looking to hook up with some California Tradgangers to shoot and get educated on local(or regional) access to find some deer/pigs/quail etc.
Ever make it to the north bay? I'm an hour or so from you, and there's pretty decent hunting up here. PM me and we'll see about flinging some arrows.
Unfortunately, the south bay can be VERY challenging to hunt, primarily because of attitudes towards hunting. Up here, folks are a wee bit more "country".
And by the way, welcome.
(that is if you're still near Livermore. I don't know where thousand oaks is...)
I just updated my profile. I moved from Livermore to north L.A. (Ventura/Thousand Oaks area) this week.
