Hello all,
My girlfriend and I just moved to San Diego about a month ago. Despite all the craziness going on in our world right now I am really excited to be here. Being new to the area I've been trying to gather information on hunting and fishing in the county but resources have been limited until I found this forum (big thank you to whoever started it!).
I am a 24 years old and I'm pretty much new hunter. Last duck season was my first hunting experience and I was lucky enough to be able to hunt out at Kern quite often. Now that I am down here I feel like a rookie hunter all over again especially now that I am trying to dabble in turkey hunting. I have gone out a few times in area of Cleveland NF but with no luck besides finding some tracks. I am a wildlife biologist so I feel like I have a good understanding of animal behavior, ecology and habitats my problem is just not knowing where to start in terms of areas to look especially with some areas of the NF being closed down due to Covid. I do have OnX and have tried my best to use it to find good areas.
I am in no way asking for spots or anything like that, just advice from vets that are willing to help guide a new hunter.
Best of luck to everyone chasing turkeys before the season ends and if you have been successful I am truly jealous!
