It got sprayed in my trash bin. Too bad, too.Albert Quackenbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601926880788750927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646025171886008830.post-86531061261613791152012-11-09T15:42:04.690-08:002012-11-09T15:42:04.690-08:00So how did the Bear Bomb work?

If it was in email, I can't locate it in my archives. <br /><br />A "guzzler" or a "horizontal well" are man-made, and the distinction there is quite clear. That doesn't include natural springs, seeps, streams, or ponds unless they are captured in guzzlers, troughs, etc. Of course, down where you are around San Diego, especially over in the desert, most of the surface water sources are man-made, which is probably why you'll find more enforcement down there. <br /><br />The rest of the law is specific to geographical areas (listed)... several of which are also in your neck of the woods.<br /><br />Anyway, next chance I get to talk to Dr. Loft or Harry Morse, I'll see if I can get a good, clean explanation.Phillip Loughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712679347845560076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646025171886008830.post-86418325282258574762010-09-04T21:27:51.353-07:002010-09-04T21:27:51.353-07:00Hey Al.

I think it is mainly because they interpret the law a bit different. Some of the wardens will actually park by your truck, if they know you are near a water source, and will time you. If you are in there longer than the 30 minutes, you'll be given a citation. It may be impossible to enforce, but the law is there. Many would argue that this means no hunting over water, period.<br /><br />(A) Any guzzler or horizontal well for wildlife on public land within the State of California.<br /><br />I see your point and would love some proper clarification from the DFG, but so far none has been given. It seems that this is a line they are cautious to cross.Albert Quackenbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601926880788750927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646025171886008830.post-34277951529054626412010-09-03T10:11:25.738-07:002010-09-03T10:11:25.738-07:00Al, there's a lot of confusion about that &quo...Al, there's a lot of confusion about that "occupying wildlife watering places" regulation, but if you read it at face value, it's actually pretty clear that it refers to specific areas. It is not a general ban on hunting over springs, seeps, etc. (a ban that would not only be impossible to enforce, but that may also be nearly impossible to obey in some hunting areas).Philliphttp://www.hog-blog.comnoreply@blogger.com
