California hunters can now apply online for specially managed upland game bird hunting opportunities on private and public lands.
Starting with the 2017 fall hunting season, hunters will need to apply through the Automated License Data System, or ALDS, for special hunt drawings for pheasant, chukar, quail, wild turkey and dove.
The new, automated application process replaces the Special Hunts Application process for wild bird hunts.
Applications for apprentice pheasant hunts will remain in the current location at https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/DFGSpecialHunts/Default.aspx.
For updates and information on wild upland game bird hunts, please visit www.wildlife.ca.gov/Hunting/Upland-Game-Birds/Hunts.
All hunt applicants must have a valid California hunting license and adult hunters must also have a valid Upland Game Bird Stamp to hunt upland game birds.
A non-refundable $2.42 fee will be charged for each application. Hunters may select their top three hunt choices per application and apply in parties, but may only apply once for each available hunt date. Duplicate entries will be disqualified.
Applications may be purchased:
– Online;
– at CDFW license sales offices;
– at retail license agents;
– by phone at 800-565-1458.
All hunters must abide by California's nonlead requirements. Currently, nonlead ammunition is required for hunting doves on any CDFW-managed property, but is not required to hunt doves on private property or public lands not managed by CDFW.
Starting on July 1, 2019, nonlead ammunition will be required to take all wildlife anywhere in California.

MENDOCINO NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. – The Mendocino National Forest is seeking input on the proposed Trail 17N84 Restoration Project on the Grindstone Ranger District.
Under this proposal, up to 1,500 feet of Trail 17N84 would be restored and closed to future off-highway vehicle use.
The project area is located approximately five miles southwest of Stonyford in Colusa County.
The purpose of this proposed project is to reduce erosion and minimize soil from entering into Mill Creek down slope of the trail.
Trail 17N84 is one of many motor vehicle trails located within the Stonyford area of the Mendocino National Forest’s designated trail system and connectivity to the designated trail system would not be affected by this closure.
Please provide comments by mail, fax, or in-person to Tony Saba, acting district ranger, c/o Linda Serret, acting district planning officer, at 825 N. Humboldt Ave., Willows 95988; fax 530-934-1212; or emailThis email address is being protected from spambots.
