I'd drive and split gas in my crew cab if any one wanted to car pool I've got room for 2-3. It sounds really fun to me.

I went a few times years ago and honestly wasn't that comfortable hunting around so many people. Lol It was a zoo of crazy

I may take you up on that if you want to go mid April or so, weather is much better then and they shoot till July out there

I have info on a ranch that gives out permits

I love shooting ground squirrels. And this sounds like a cool event, but a long way to go to bet on the come line ( getting permission on private prop).

Alturas ranches gives out permits but you can only get them during the week. ...they are using poison now but from what I hear from locals it won't make a dent in the population

That's what I heard too about the event, have you ever hunted alturas in April. .?

The guys I have talked to say it's nothing to shoot a couple hundred a day

I'd pay good money just to have a fun day like that. I had a few local spots that you could get 10-20 a day but they dried up with the drought.

Thanks for the info. Too far for me to go for squirrels, but a really nice outreach program.

So, I guess it's safe to say that the iv don't have a squirrel problem. .?

The IV is a desert that really doesn't have many ground squirrels.....Just these little chipmunk type things that are probably protected.

Hey wasn't that guy in The Lion King?

I've never seen many squirrels in the IV. Maybe the south edge of the SJV would be closest for volume. Not sure
