YOUTH AND VETERAN HUNT WEEKENDS
Saturday, Feb. 4, and Sunday, Feb. 5, are Youth Waterfowl Hunting Days in the Southern San Joaquin Valley, Southern California, Colorado River and Balance of State Zones!

Federal regulations require that hunters must be 17 years of age or younger and accompanied by a non-hunting adult 18 years of age or older to participate. All hunters must have a valid license and stamps as required by state and federal law. The daily bag and possession limits apply, along with all other waterfowl regulations for the 2022-23 waterfowl season.

The Veterans and Active Military Waterfowl Hunting Days take place the following weekend (Feb. 11 and 12) throughout the Balance of the State, Southern San Joaquin Valley, and Southern California waterfowl zones. Geese are closed for the veteran hunts.

In addition to a valid California hunting license, California duck validation, federal duck stamp and Harvest Information Program (HIP) validation, any person participating in these hunts must possess verification of eligibility. Acceptable verification includes: a Veteran ID Card, military ID card for active duty personnel or a state-issued driver license or ID card with veteran designation.
SUMMER CAMPS ARE BACK!
Looking for the perfect summer camp this year that offers hunter education, outdoor activities and more for your 10-17 year old? We have it! Four camps are planned for Grizzly Ranch and one special camp in November at Bird Haven Ranch that includes a waterfowl hunt! Ok, that's NOT a summer camp but it's so popular every year we want to get the word out as soon as possible.

Summer camps will be available soon! Check our website in the coming weeks.
