How to find hunting areas.

[CritJoe]

Even though I joined last year I didn't actually make it to the Southern California area in time to get tags for hunting season. So I still haven't went hunting out here yet.

Anyway I'm from Alabama and most of the hunting I've done back home was on a friend or family member's land. So I guess my question is how do you guys go about finding new places to hunt around here? (Not asking for your secret hunting place just trying to find my own) I'm prob gonna do a bit of hunting on base here at Pendleton. But I'd like not to be limited to just on base.

So where should I start looking? Thanks in advance.

Is right on this one. But you can get BLM maps and there is a company out there called GPS Hunting maps that go in your GPS and they will show you who owns the land.

But maps maps and more maps then hit the trails! Also a shooting map is nice that way you know if it is shotgun only area or not! I know San Bernardino Co. has a shooting map. I have not seen a Riverside Co shooting map yet. That's what I can tell you about hunting up this way!
