TRACKS, the Newsletter about California deer and other big game is available now.
Be sure to check the Annual Big Game Hunting Booklet (it has the hunt applications and other new information) available where you buy your license or on-line above.
Use the official regulation booklet (Hunting Regulations for Mammals and Furbearers) available on-line in PDF format and at license agents. It's the hard-to-read, small print, booklet that comes out every year - we are working on making these things simpler and easier, we promise.
