Ha, ha..  sometime I gotta tell ya about the time I left an orange under the seat in the car and was woke up at 3am by a ranger at curry campgrounds in Yosemite 

I will have my shotgun with me for the early Honker season that opens Sat morning just in case there are some geese there.

It is legal to travel through the refuge with a firearm as long as 1) if it is a pistol it needs to be unloaded and locked in a case or trunk of car 2) if it is a long gun it needs to be unloaded. The ammo can be in the same case or trunk locked up, it just can't be in the magazine attached to the firearm. You cannot have a firearm in the refuge if you are staying there. Driving through is ok.

I’m pretty sure that your guns need to be disassembled going thru the refuge, no matter if it is a long gun or pistol. Also doesn’t matter if you’re staying in the refuge or not, just driving thru with an assembled gun could land you in trouble.

Good luck seeing anyone up there that would check.

Tote you coming up

SB 175, as introduced, Fuller. State game refuges: possession of weapons.
Existing law generally prohibits the use or possession is in a game refuge of a firearm, BB device, crossbow, or bow and arrow capable of being used to take birds or mammals. However, existing law permits the possession of a firearm, BB device, crossbow and bolts, or bow and arrow by a person when traveling through any state game refuge when the firearms are taken apart or encased and unloaded and the bows are unstrung or stored separately from any arrow or bolt. Existing law requires that when the traveling is done on a route other than a public highway or other public thoroughfare or right of way, specified notice be given to the Department of Fish and Wildlife at least 24 hours before that traveling.
This bill would exempt certain peace officers, whether active or honorably retired, and any person licensed to carry a concealed firearm from the above travel and notice requirements as they relate to a firearm.

Yes, that’s one of google maps weak spots. It doesn’t know the difference between a paved road and a Jeep trail. It will send you on a mud rutted boulder filled trail because it saves a 1/4 mile over a paved road.

I noticed that google maps showed that the ramp at Hell Hole was closed permanently. I called the ranger to make sure and he said it was open. He also said the road repairs might be done in a week or two. If you like using the other road, call or check the website and it might be open by then.

Google Maps shows the route in by way of the Ramsey Crossing instead of by French Meadows Reservoir. I wonder if that means the road repair work is done. If you can get in that way the gun restriction is avoided.

So my amazing friends Jim (Rockfish) & Amy (Happy Hooker) decided they wanted to donate to the raffle. He come back with the Engle dry box/cooler with rod holders. I’m so stoked and thankful. He asks me what’s the raffle is going for again and I tell him it’s for Shicken. We go out to the garage where he proceeds to hand me a brand new Hobie Livewell. I’m blown away by the kindness and support I get from my friends.

Thank you so much Jim & Amy.

Don’t forget you dollah dollah bills y’all or better yet yo twenty spots and Hundo’s. All joking aside do what you can we have some great prizes to raffle off and trust me the cause I worth donating.
