What are you looking to hunt? Big game, upland bird? There has to be some quail, dove, duck hunting in the vicinity. Isn't there some open areas to the south of the Coachella Valley? Salton Sea etc. Sorry I'm not much help but have never traveled there for hunting. There are a lot of guys on this forum from that region and south, I'm sure someone has some helpful input. BTW, welcome to the forum BOBBYJ!Is there none? I would be willing to drive....from SD three hour drive is nothing
