About this hunt

The landscape has not changed that much since Cabrillo trekked these mountains hundreds of years ago. Challenge yourself in this same wilderness and reap the benefits of personal growth. Get into the backcountry with your pack and rifle. Get away from the trailheads and the roads. These hunts will be available on 120 private acres that butt up to the Los Padres National Forest. Contact me to arrange a mutually agreed upon date. The A zone has a 22% success rate counting private and public land. I'm happy to share that my personal success rate over the years is above 60%. I've been hunting this area for three decades. I'll walk every step of the way with you. You can put venison on the BBQ too.
