I moved from Southern CA to Boise, ID two years ago. I had no idea how good I had it hunting Wister and SJ. Even though I only got a few draws per year, I could always sweatline Wister on a Wednesday and get a spot. The beauty of the CA system is you always have a spot to yourself.
Idaho has WMAs. But, there are no reservations and it is dog eat dog to get a spot. You can hunt the snake river. But, you need a boat. I don’t want a boat and have no place for one. Then, there are multi thousand dollar private clubs.
I’m still glad I moved. I have all my gun rights and it is much less expensive to live. But, CA was way better for duck hunting. It is the only thing I miss.
Does OR, WA, NV, or UT have a draw system similar to CA? Maybe out of State hunting is the answer.
