I have always wanted to go and I am nervous cause I am not a rich person.
CA Fish n Game website is very confusing. Where do you go to apply for the draw? I can’t seem to find the form.
Just in time, thanks man appreciate it 👍🏻
I thought you could carry a sidearm while hunting any big game other than deer in California? Great video!
If you are archery hunting in the field with a non hunter can that non hunter carry a firearm? Thank you for the tutorial.
Is Hunting license requires before applying the deer tag?
Trying to upgrade my 10×50 diamond backs, do you think the 12×50 vipers are an upgrade or spend the extra 500 and get the 12×50 razor HDs? I’d love to get the UHDs but they’re just too expensive for my budget right now….
Very helpful!
South Dakota is similar with a small game including most birds/varmint license but need for the seasons on Turkey then fall to winter for Deer, Elk (rare), Antelope, or Mountain Lion. Could get a combo license that has fishing and if you have both you can bowfish/maybe even just the fishing license. You do not need the small game licence to hunt big game but it is nice as you can go from deer if nothing is out to the small game/varmint license. Varmints/small game are Coyotes and smaller in South Dakota.
Could you post the link? I dont see it. Fir the new laws and regs?
In another video it explains some stuff like the hunting license will be free shipping to my house but how do I get to print and how do I know what to print out?
Great video! Is there any plans on making one for pigs?
Great video! Thank you for all the great information.
Could you select 3 premium areas for your first tag? Then use your second tag for a non-draw area? I’m thinking for people who may not be able to devote the time to two tags, but want a better shot at more productive areas.
Can you do a vid on what clothing and gear you use for hot July A zone hunts
Does anyone know say my I wanted my son is invited me to go deer hunting with him I’m not going to kill a deer you know but he wants to do I need a hunting license if I’m just going to like just be there to help him if you know if he shot a deer I mean I help him clean it and lug it to the car I’m definitely not going to shoot anything maybe a beer can or something but I’m not going to shoot no animal unless I’m getting attacked by something but is that do I need a hunting license to be out there basically that’s what I’m trying to find out
Thank you so much for this video . You answered so many question for this first time hunter .
Good Job young man. For new hunters I know the information you have given will help.
im a correctional officer which in ca we are peace officers soooooo can i counter sign my buddies tags when we are out hunting lol
Awesome video…answered a lot of questions I had! I’m looking to hunt deer in D13 and I’m wondering if this is an OTC zone/tag. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you
man is so freaking complicated. this helps, but im just to dumb to understand all this
Thanks
Found this channel today. I’m binging yall’s videos, man. Thanks for explaining the whole license system. As a new hunter, it was pretty confusing.
Thank you so Much for the information I’m trying to get in to hunting in California so this video really did help me.
Can I just get a preference point? and not actually apply for the draw? I am used to this being the case in Utah and WY.
THANK YOU!!! One piece that I don’t understand is if the current hunting license expires in June, but the days to draw and purchase tags is in April, wouldn’t the current hunting license expire prior to the start of the new hunting season?
Thank you. Your a big help.
A few years ago B zone was a premium tag (only for one year) but I was still able to purchase my second tag after the main drawing of was done in mid June. I think that is still the same and we can get two premium tags just can only apply for one premium tags in the beginning of June then get your second premium tag (assuming there are still tags left) immediately after the tags get issued in mid June.
Very thorough and helpful, thank you!
As a beginner who wants to hunt a deer for the first time, this is amazingly helpful. Thank you for the information!
Good vid! Folks should definitely look up the nearest ranger station or calfire station to where they’re hunting and use that for validation. I do wonder how many people try to bring their deer to the local post office 😅
I’ve heard you need to take a class before being able to purchase the license how true is this? I’ve never hunted in California and I live here.
Bless you sir.
Just what I needed, I pulled up the map with all the zones and damn near went cross eyed lol
Thumbs up and subbed, good shit
What about the Junior/youth hunt opportunities? The youth doe hunts. DFW site is terrible.
