There be water here! Also, on the Ramona Expressway side, there is farmland on the other side of the road..with quail eating fox holes. Birds flush pretty far ahead over here. Have not explored the interior. Area is kept up by QU and Pheasants Forever (thanks guys!) and some other tree hugging groups. Beware the slow/parked cars on Davis Rd. - those are bird watchers (ya, watch me plug this quail ) I have enhanced the map to show the hunter areas in red. You must stop in at the Permit booth (circle on map) which is lonely little box-hut across the "street" from the big HQ and SJ display boards. You MUST fill out a permit (free) and carry it with you. PS...bring a pencil/pen - it sucks not being able to fill out the permit. When you are done hunting, you are supposed to turn in your card back at this spot.

There are also special Monday Only Pheasant hunts. The next dates are: Nov 11, 18, 25, Dec. 2, 9, 7, & 16. Here is the Pheasant Hunting Reservation and Information. There are some hurdles to jump through, so read carefully. Day use for pheasant and waterfowl is $13. Annual is $101. Reservation cards for 1 day hunts are $1.05, 5 day hunts are $5.25, per application card. Must be submitted 17 days before your requested hunt day. Each reservation is good for up to 2 adults and 2 juniors (max). The "cards" are avail from Hunting Licensing Agents (sporting good stores) through the "Waterfowl Reservation System". Just enter the San Jacinto Pheasant dates on the back of the card, supposedly the license branch will decipher the difference between waterfowl and pheasant) You can also call (909) 928-0580 for more info! Jeez, you want me to do all of your homework for you???

Lastly, San Jacinto will also be offering a Junior Pheasant hunt on Sunday Nov 10th, 2002. Here is the Application. Deadline is Nov. 4th, 2002. No late apps or walk-ins allowed!

**Update on forms for San Jacinto
I just went to Big 5 and they had no idea what I was talking about. 2 managers, and asst. mngr and a cashier later and they all decided that i needed an "Adventure Pass". I got the San jacinto DFG on the phone (see # above) and they set them straight. Big 5 did not ahve them. I drove over to the WalMart in West Covina on Azusa and was able to pick up a "Five Choice Application to Hunt on State-Operated Wildlife Area" for $5.25**
