While we make every effort to keep season dates, deadlines, and bag limits accurate, wildlife regulations are subject to sudden shifts, emergency closures, and administrative changes by state and federal agencies. NorCalHunt is an independent resource and is not an official representative of the State of California, CDFW, the California Fish and Game Commission, or the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. We assume no legal liability for inaccuracies, typographical errors, or omissions. Hunters are ultimately responsible for knowing the law.
