Trail Discussion: Cleghorn Hunting Questions

[MrBash]

I called California Department of Fish and Game only to find out what I already know about hunting regulations. They toldme to call the Sheriffs department to find out what firearm I am allowed to use.

The sherriffs department said I have to call forest service because it is their land.

I called forest service and they told me to follow The Department of Fish and Games regulations.

I am in the clouds because none of the departments really answered my question.

So here I am to the only trustful source I know - MJR!

Are we allowed to shoot 30-06 rifles in this area.

I am already aware of the 150 yard regulation from roads, buildings and streams. We can't shoot across roads and streams. We already posses the correct tags.

Does anyone here have any further information before I take my 30-06 rifle and go hunting around cleghorn?

[COLOR="Blue"]What are you planning on hunting Bash, deer season is over as well as bird season. The only shooting allowed in the NF is during hunting season with the specified gun for the type of game your hunting. F&G makes those reg's.

Unless the area is designated for "shooting".

I'm actually researching for my friend. There has been wild boar spotting on Cleghorn this past Sunday April 19,2009. So he called me to get more info.

[COLOR="Sienna"]Ah, I know some guys go to the closed Air Force base somewhere over near Victorville for Boar Hunting...probably nearby?[/COLOR]

[MrBash]

Ofcourse with me posting that there has been spotting, I have given the spot away but Wild Boar are generally difficult to hunt. Especially around Cleghorn,you would have to hike deep into the forest to be 150 yards away from any road.

They probably escaped from that area. I say the pictures of the boar. One was huge (male).

I'm n the DFG site now checking land information.

[COLOR="Sienna"]What it sounds like to me is that if you went hunting up there, you could feasably tell whomever showed up to confront you that the other agency said it was okay.

If a ranger showed up, the sherriff said it was okay, if the sherriff shows up, the ranger said it was okay!

Not that I'm encouraging you to do that. Just saying nobody seems to know what's going on.[/COLOR]

Maybe it will help? Some maps at the end but don't see Cleghorn on there.[/COLOR]

I've been reading it over and over and I don't see our area as Boar area. I'm taking my friend up there tonight at 6:30 so I can show him the area so he has an idea of how Cleghorn Rd is formed.

I have spotted a few quails on 2N17x but to get 150 yards away from the road is practically impossible. The area is too steep and too brushy.

Actually what and where you can shoot is dictated by County regulations. This can be superceded by City, State, and Federal Regulations

It appears as if Cleghorn is in an area that allows hunting in certain areas and shotgun only use in other areas.

That's what I was thinking. I'm going to further investigate.

There's no boar hunting at the closed AFB in victorville. It is an active Airport. I don't think the FAA or TSA would take too kindly to firearms on the airport...
