    Why is it so hard to explain to powder guys hunting with air can be done on larger game?!

    I sympathize and agree with you, I really do. As you may have seen from my past posts here, I am a "powder guy" who has tried for over six years to convince the California Fish and Game Commission - which also relies upon the advice of the CDFW (California Department of Fish and Wildlife, often...

    Hog Hunting with Airgun

    You all are fortunate to be able to do so where you are. Unfortunately California is stuck in the past and after six plus years of regulatory petitions and appeals to try to get big bore airguns allowed in CA as method of take for wild pig, it is still a denial from the Fish and Game Commission...

    A First Look at Possible Lead Free Slug Problems

    As I am always seeking some sort of administrative remedy (or perhaps court remedy) to create more options for hunters in CA, recently I authored a new CA petition (Request) for Partial Reconsideration which I submitted to the Fish and Gand Commission's FGC email on Feb. 15, 2023 pursuant to...

    California December 15, 2022 Decision on Big Bore Airguns (Wild Pig) Results in Delay of Final Decision to Feb. 2023 Fish and Game Commission Meeting

    I have made a new CA petition (Request) for Partial Reconsideration which I submitted to the Fish and Gand Commission's FGC email on Feb. 15, 2023 pursuant to California Government Code 11340.7(c) and the statute to which it refers (11340.6). Functionally this was submitted as an appeal of the...

    A First Look at Possible Lead Free Slug Problems

    To the author: Great writeup. Sadly, today the stupids at the CA Fish and Game Commission denied my regulatory petition (which has been waiting for a decision for years) to allow big bore BB devices as method of take for wild pig, and as the Commissioner's only stated rationale for the...

    California December 15, 2022 Decision on Big Bore Airguns (Wild Pig) Results in Delay of Final Decision to Feb. 2023 Fish and Game Commission Meeting

    They denied the regulatory petition (Petition 2021-007: Request to revise authorized methods of take and designation for wild pig) today. The part of my proposal that could be implemented consistent with SB 856 (a new state law having to do with wild pig), as it will be...

    Submit Comments before December 9, 2022 to Fish and Game Commission by email on Proposal to allow Hunting of Wild Pig with Big Bore Airguns in CA

    I don't want to get buried in the weeds (too much) about why Propositions pass or fail, though I did want to emphasize that voters did see through Prop 16 (2020) in California and then voted it down. As to Prop 117, I'm assuming you mean the one in 1990, which passed 52.42 (yes) to 47.58 (no)...

    Submit Comments before December 9, 2022 to Fish and Game Commission by email on Proposal to allow Hunting of Wild Pig with Big Bore Airguns in CA

    Thanks for your thoughts. Here are my thoughts on that possibility.... 1. It's a very heavy lift to make a State Proposition to amend the State Constitution. Not hard for the CA legislature to pass something internal to the Legislature to propose to amend the Constitution or to recommend it...

    As an aside on this one (California Fish and Game Commission, evaluating whether or not to approve big bore airguns, known in state as "BB devices," as an allowed method of take for CA wild pig hunting), the Fish and Game Commission decided at its December 15, 2022 meeting date to deliberate...
