The Department of Fish and Game, in cooperation with the Department of Water Resources, has been conducting non-fee limited-permit public pheasant hunts since 1993. In 1998, a non-fee late-season waterfowl hunt was implemented. These hunts are held on State holdings located in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Lands used for this hunt were purchased with the State Water Project Contract Funds. These properties are only open to successful applicants during the respective seasons. The properties are not open to the public except for this special hunting opportunity. Trespassers will be cited and prosecuted.
For both hunting opportunities, shoot days are typically scheduled for Saturdays
and Wednesdays only. Special hunting opportunities are available each year, but
may vary each year.
The dates for the general pheasant hunts in 2007 are November 10, 14, 21, 24,
28, and December 1, 5, 8. The date for the women’s hunt is November 11. Junior’s
hunts will take place November 17 with one scheduled for the morning and another
in the afternoon. Application instructions for the pheasant hunts will be
available below after October 1.
Dates for the waterfowl hunts are December 22, 26, 29, and January 2, 5, 9, 12, 16, 19, 23, 26. There will be a Youth hunt held on February 2nd. Application
instructions will be available November 1 for the waterfowl hunts.
