The California Department of Fish and Game has announced that the California pheasant, dove and fall turkey seasons will open on Nov. 13.
The Department of Fish and Game said that, based on a cost-benefit analysis, the only days open for pheasant hunting in DFG Type A Wildlife Areas will be Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays.
Over the past several years, the DFG had opened its Wildlife Areas to pheasant hunting on days other than the traditional Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays. In evaluating these opportunities, the DFG has concluded it is not cost-effective to maintain the nontraditional shoot days for the 2010 season in Type A and Type B Wildlife Areas.
The state agency makes every effort to provide hunter opportunities. This decision is the result of several factors that include budget constraints, cost of department staffing, declining pheasant harvest on public areas, increased length of the pheasant season in recent years, and decline in demand for the opportunities on nontraditional shoot days. As a result, the DFG has determined it will be more cost-effective to direct these resources to habitat management and improving future opportunities.
Hunter opportunities in Type C Wildlife Areas will remain open as normal, but the Type A and Type B Wildlife Areas will be limited to only Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays for the 2010 pheasant season.
Reports and publications on pheasant can be found at www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/hunting/uplandgame. A list of Wildlife Areas can be found on the DFG website at www.dfg.ca.gov /lands, or in the current Waterfowl and Upland Game Hunting Regulations booklet.
For more information on specific hunting opportunities, hunters should contact their regional Department of Fish and Game office.

This may be only the second year of the Harvest Bowl, but if last Friday's contest is anyindication, this game is here to stay. Having all the elements of a great rivalry, including mid-week activities such as pizza eating contests and pep-rallies more reminiscent of homecoming, the second annual contest between the Gridley Buldogs and the Live Oak Lions more than lived up to the hype, and did nothing to dampen the spirits of the organizers of the now annual affair.
