So I called the San Diego office of Fish and Wildlife ( located on Ruffin Rd) and told them that I am new to the SD area and would like to speak to a wildlife biologist or Game Warden about places to check out for deer hunting in the D-16 unit..
The girl that answered the phone told me that they do not give out that type of information.. I asked politely again, if there was anybody at all I could talk to about a new resident locating places to hunt? She said again, "sir I will not give you anybodys name or number to tell you places you can go hunt. We do not do that!" .
I then told her I have hunted in many many other states and it's even told to call a state bio to get info on places to hunt and this is the first time I have ever been told in any state that they won't give out this info or even lets speak to someone about it. She then said, "we get so many calls about this, that If we answered all the questions like this, that we would need a full time person to just sit here and answer these questions. Is there anything else I can help you with? Because if not I'm going to get off the phone now"..
I'm Speechless!!!!!!!! Is this true? Have any of you been told the same? I can't believe it?! Is there anyone else I can talk to about this?
