Help with info on Cal Antelope Zones

[spectr17]

I'm updating my California Antelope Hunting webpage and would like to add some more info that would help first timers out.

What I need is info on:

HUNTING SUPPLIES - local sporting good shops or stores that have hunting and food supplies.

BEST EATS - good cafes or restaurants

CHEAPEST GAS - to avoid the high prices us foreigners pay because we don't know the area

GOOD MOTELS/HOTELS/CAMPGROUNDS - clean and convenient places to stay

GUIDES - Any guides that operate in the zone.

MUST SEE SIGHTS - any places to visit if we tag out early or don't want to miss.

MEAT PROCESSING/BUTCHERS -

TAXIDERMISTS -

MEDICAL AID - Nearest hopstial or emergency clinics.

GENERAL INFO - Land conservancies or timber companies that grant trespass permission. Any other info that would be helpful.

Take a look at the my Cal Antelope hunting page and the zones you know. If you can help out with any of the above please post here. Try to include the address, the phone number and the times the store is open if possible. Contact/Onwer names also help. Thanks a bunch.

Hi Guys,

I just got back from my Likely Tables Hunt. I stayed in the Best Western Trail Side Inn (530) 233-4411 in Alturas. The rooms we nice , with a fridge , micro wave and coffee maker. This was helpful in the morning. The breakfast goodies are not available till around 7:00 AM.

I highly recommend eating at the Brass Rail for dinner. They are open till 10:00 but I would make sure I would get there by nine, because the give you lots of food to eat. A complete steak dinner with wine, freash bread, unlimited soup , salad, side dish, coffee and ice cream was only $15.00. The steaks were big and tastey. I ate there three nights !!!

The Black Bear Diner would be a good choice if you didn't want the complete dinner at the Brass Rail.

Likley Tables

Likley RV Park and Golf located approx. 2 miles East of the town of Likley. Great RV park for people who choose to utilize a motor home . I tow my Dodge Dakota behind my RV and was real close to BLM land where I took a respectable antelope opening day for period 2 on BLM land.

Walt's market in Alturas let me skin the antelope behind his store and hung it in his cooler. He or the other market in Alturas could not process the meat to meet my time period so I took the animal to Idaho Meats in Susanville for processing. Meat was processed while I fished Eagle Lake. Walt has very helpful in recomending Idaho Meats and charged me a reasonable fee for hanging the animal for a couple of days.

Can not recommend any food establishments or guides as I lived out of my motor home during the hunt.
