Hunting in SoCal

[Ultracarry]

I believe it’s 2 a day … for the limit and the red rattlesnake is the only one you can’t kill - any pet snakes would have to be caught while in possession of a fishing license …
We have killed 21 rattle snakes on my property in the past 10 months …

Funny thing is you legally can’t relocate rattle snakes from what I have been reading … so you have no choice legally but to kill them on your property .

Just a few hours North but D7 had some nice bucks harvested this year. Zone is hunted hard but they are there.

One thing to keep in mind about D11 is that almost the entire southern half of the zone is a no shooting area, so no rifle hunting. It’s a shame really, because some of the higher densities of bear are on that side.

Well, I'm a pretty experienced rock climber and have not complained, but I have thought a lot of D11 is pretty rough. The issue is that it is hard to cover a lot of ground. I just watched S1 E2 of meat eater for like the fifth time over the years. I'll not complain anymore. Now I know our lands are not as bountiful but its also a short drive for a lot of us.

You don't need any kind of license to harvest rattlesnakes. There is a bag and possession limit which I don't recall what they are, but I know for sure you do not need a license for harvesting rattlesnakes.

You need a fishing license man. I was shocked to find it out. All I'm saying is do your due diligence and double check. The thought of some gov entity getting fines and fees outta somebody not knowing their sometimes intricate regs doesn't sit well within me. So Im just taking a sec to share things I was surprised to learn about.

Although you need a license for most snakes, and I have my fishing and hunting license… rattle snakes do NOT require a fishing license … there’s an exception for rattle snakes except for the red rattlesnake which is federally protected .
