[QUOTE="scott63, post: 1565245, member: 93331"] In far Northern Ca, it used to be a sportsmans paradise, but over the last 40 years the ever tightening regulations/restrictions have had significant impact. Then just last year Roseburg Forest Products sold all of their Ca holdings(270 square miles) to an Austrailian company. Their land in my area comprised of 44k acres or 68 square miles. The Roseburg land was open to the public and I've hunted that land for forty years. I've hunted it with my grandpa, my dad, my wife and both my kids. I'd planned on hunting it with my grandsons/daughters. But the new company has closed all access of any type. No hunting/fishing/hiking/horseback riding. Sierra Pacific usually closes their land during the height of the fire season but re-opens it after the weather changes. But how long till a change of ownership with them and a potential change of rules? There is still public lands in Ca to hunt to be sure, but it gets more crowded all the time, and when other areas close, that shifts more hunters to those lands. Because of this I agreed to pay to hunt a small ranch and will also look to hunt out of state each year until I'm too old to hunt. [/QUOTE]
