new to hunting

[hitman805]

I just moved back to california only after being in florida for a couple months. never got a chance to go hunting. I know there is hog at FHL, we would see them all the time while doing military exercises, but where are they in the ventura county area? ojai etc.

Vandenburg AFB would be closest for you if you are active duty or retired military. There are rumored to be pigs in LPNF santa barbara ranger district but they seem to stick to private land around cachuma lake and the "closed to hunting" recreation area around paradise road.

Welcome back...Vandiland would be the best place...

Ok that's cool. I know they say they are near zone d13 in Ojai or that's the closet hunting area to me. I just need to get my hands on a bow. Mine is back in fl.

Interesting, I have only seen deer out there but I could see them liking the terrain on the private land in the Ojai valley. Still, vandenburg is your best bet unless you know some of the landowners in Ojai.

I do remember somebody mention turkey on D13....but if wanna kno for sure...u gotta put your booth on and hike it...guys that kno where they are are keeping it tight lip...

I know there are some pigs and plenty of turkey near Santa Paula on private land. I have no idea if there are any public areas near there.

 

[hitman805]

[hitman805]

I believe Vandenberg is open to active or retired military. Welcome back hitman805, thanks for your service and good luck!
