welcome to the site! hang around and make some friends and the info will flow.

just showing up and asking for good places to hunt is kinda like asking for a good place to go gold mine.

Do you have your hunter safety and hunting license yet?

Last time I ordered them I called the CA BLM office and they mailed me them they were way behind the times like every government agency. I would hope by now you can go on their website and order maps.

Get onx app on your phone, it's almost mandatory here to figure out where and who owns land

Welcome to SCH.......Get yourself a shotgun......Way way more hunting opps in SoCal with shotguns vs rifles.

Welcome, I'm new to this forum and to SoCal myself...I just picked up a Sig M400 and looking to do some coyote hunting if you're interested.
I'm getting my hunting license in January and being that I'm new to CA and don't really know anyone that hunts I figured I'd try this forum.
I agree that we can't just come on this forum and asks for spots but I did call BLM and the CA Game & Fish office. There's some areas that aren't too far but will take some research and scouting to make sure that we're legal and in the right spots. I'm working on getting some maps together but let me know if you're interested.

Welcome! Pendleton has some great deer, just don't shoot the buffalo.....

You're not too far from San Bernardino County. They put out a shooting map of the county that tells you where you can shoot and what firearms are (or aren't) allowed in the various areas. Wish all counties put out a map like this...

http://cms.sbcounty.gov/portals/1/fishandgame/2010_cnty_shooting_areas_final.pdf

...obviously doesn't give away anyone's secret spot, just tells you where you can legally shoot or hunt.
