From the Northern California foothills hey there.

Greetings from El Dorado county, hope your stay in California is not permanent, while you're here this state does have much to offer the outdoorsman, years ago I had access to just over 2000 acres or land a little south west of town and the reservoir accessed from the river crossing below the dam, I lost access when it was parceled out and sold in 2007, deer hunting was a little above average, quail hunting was well above average, and thurkey huntibg was exception, despite the fact bobcat population may have been was as healthy as anywhere I've seen, as they were spotted and or harvested every trip I made, I had access the river so fishing was always on the menu even when hunting season was over, in 07 the last trip I made I knew it was my last, so spent most the day there kinda looking for deer but shooting quail and a little fishing, however the thing that really got my attention was it appeared that several groups of hogs were now calling that place home, Prior to 07 I had had places to hunt hogs in Paso Robles, coalinga, San jose/mount hamiton, and Williams ca, but the last hog I harvested was that ranch in 07 about 250 pounder, I always wondered if those hogs took a permanent hold down there, might be worth a look see, sure miss that place, and again welcome
I do believe the reduction of decent hunting and fishing areas are going away, heck just the open areas are shrinking. Heard there were a few hogs my way in Valley Springs some years ago, but nothing for awhile. Montana is getting tougher too, luckily I have friends with land. Well I also fish and need to learn Hogan for its striper fishing. And the delta for any and all.
 
Definitely NOT a snake guy. One son in law got into air rifles, hasn't killed any big game yet, went for hogs a couple weeks ago but to long of shots, he has a 50 and a 72cal.
Not a snake guy either but if I live here in FL I've learned how to deal with them. Bb guns have been a favorite of mine due to my work, being at people's homes and within city limits I had to restrict myself

We have family in Florida, just have never got down there, but it looks like a great place for hunters and fisherman.

That it is. Maybe one day y'all will be able to travel across the states and check it out. Plus there are a lot of great states in between
 
Thanks, Was out south of Coalinga weekend before last looking for hogs, not quite ready for that 1000yd shot.
