Just a Quick reminder.
Only 15 days to go
Registration for Lake Sonoma hog hunts will begin on Nov 21 at 9:00 am at the visitor center. It will continue throughout the hunting season with the exceptions of Mondays and Tuesdays. Because you can not register before 9:00 on the first day you come, don’t plan on showing up early. Once you are issued your hunting sticker for your boat and the placard for your vehicle, you can self register each time you come out just like last year. That way you can be in the field by first light.
Remember to check in at the visitor center each time you come out. I will be very unhappy if I see a hunting sticker on boat and no record of that individual hunting that day!
I did get a question from a guy who wanted to know if he had to get a sticker for his kayak. The answer is YES. Put the sticker on any vessel that you will be using for hunting on the lake!
The reason is that the shoreline of the lake will be posted as off limits to all vessels that do not have: a hunting pass, are registered to camp, or are within shouting distance of their boats. (Other wise, it’s abandoned equipment and could be impounded)
This is kind of like nailing Al Capone for tax evasion. It’s a round about way to deal with poachers who are coming in by boat and not registering. It’s easier for us to find a boat on the shoreline than to hike up the hill to look for a camouflaged poacher who really doesn’t want to be found!
Finaly, Yes, deer stands are permited...Beer stands are not!
If you have any questions you can reach me at 707-431-4514 or the visitor center at 707-431-4533 (closed Mondays and Tuesdays)
Get ready only 15 days to go!
