does anyone know of any place to go varmint hunting in central ca? the closer to sf the better. I havnt heard of any place to shoot around here except for ranges.

Im wondering the same thing. I got invited to go on my friends private property in sunol to shoot squirells.

Check out the CA BLM website.

They have all the info you need. Also check out the CA DFG website.

Where in Central California?  It's a loooong state!

well i live between san francisco and san jose. redwood city to be exact.

I would head east and scope out some farmland, orchards or alfalfa for ground squirrels.  Track down the landowner and offer some free pest control.  It sounds difficult, but it isn't actually.  Make sure the first few times you dress normal, like t-shirts and jeans.  Make some business cards, hand them out, post them at small stores and gas stations.  In California, you need to cultivate quality hunting spots.  Being a varmint hunter has its advantages, because you are doing a service.  Just follow their requests to the letter (ie: shoot all coyotes, close all gates, don't shoot near irrigation pipes) and you should do fine.

Not specific, but I hope this helps some.
