VAFB is open for business!!

[myfriendis410]

Went to Alpha last night and they opened the hunting this a.m. Everything but C3 is open and they hope to have that one cleared by tomorrow night. I've got four 216's in my wallet right now! Yowzah!:smiley-mouse:

Whats that 216's Gotta make it down there. Been busy training my hounds for the upcoming bear season.

The 216's are the permits that allow you to hunt on the base. When its not deer season, they're good for 30 days.

They're only good for 15 days. I hear rumors that is going away, but I've heard that before.......

[ltdann]

Yeah, me too. Might wait until after 4 July though. The grass was TALL last month.

Didn't see a thing. Other than coyotes. We saw SEVEN of the little basXXXXs! It was very foggy and drizzle. Area 4 isn't open yet which is where I want to go.

Northstar? or someother secret squirrel place you've yet to share?? I know your not gonna go back to poison oak cliff, but if you haven't seen the landslide yet, its worth a peek over the edge. I think you'll agree it'll be an area to watch.

 

[RoosterKiller]

Is it open only to military?

 

[myfriendis410]

Active duty, active guard, DoD, Aafes, Naf, Chumash Indian. That's about it.

 

[ltdann]

Please don't shoot wet sows: that's next year's hunting. There's so much pressure on this base that we'd have nothing to hunt if every sow we saw got killed. Besides; it's not much sport shooting a titty sow that has to eat at 3:00 in tha afternoon to keep her piglets in milk. And finally it's a myth that the piglets get adopted by other sows. They're coyote food.

 

[hogsoplenty]

got to get a job with the dod.

I dont shoot wet sows but some of them most have kicked a few off the titty already, i just perfer to eat sows and smaller hogs over them big ol boars.

I'm glad to hear it.

But I have to tell you that a 100-150 lb. boar is just fine. We really see no difference. It's all pork.

If we all pay attention to the range there will be great sport for everyone who uses the resource. Us locals can put more stress on it than out-of-towners so we really try to educate 'em about the base.

Its been at least 5 years since I been down there.
