Tules and tumbleweed provides good blind materials. Hunters often pack the camo-type tarps and covering for extra cover, Hip waders are useful most of the season, but if the first weeks are extra warm, you may enjoy the hunt more in short boots or tennis shoes. stay tuned with our Refuge Hunting Reports as season progresses.
Those who show up early get the best shot at hunting areas not already reserved by the standard application procedure. Refer to our Refuge Hunting maps, and Depending on how close to the front of the line you are, there‘s a good chance you‘ll get in to hunt the popular zones 3 and 4, where a 1/2-mile hike will take you into the highly productive Area 14 and Field 2l. Another spot where shotguns usually smoke is the northeastern edges of Olsen Pond near Zone 6. Take along an I-shaped tule seat to keep up off the water.
With all this talk about ducks, Los Banos Refuge hunters should keep in mind the good goose hunting that's expected this year. Unlike ducks, nesting and breeding for Pacific Flyway snow geese was considerably more productive last year, and hunters should see more targets. Don’t forget the
closure on dark geese, and plan on making a mid-November trip, when goose action really starts to gain momentum. Stay tuned for our Refuge Hunting reports as the season progresses.

The sprawling wetlands of Los Banos Wildlife Refuge finds a group of dedicated hunters embarked on an unforgettable duck hunting expedition.
They delved into the Duck Reports, seeking insights into the recent activities and concentrations of ducks within the refuge.
The Duck Reports were a treasure trove of information, detailing the ebb and flow of waterfowl populations. The hunters, eager to maximize their chances of a successful hunt, carefully studied the reports, identifying prime locations indicated as best areas for duck hunting.
Refuge Maps became their guiding compass, leading the way through the intricate network of water channels and marshes that defined the refuge's diverse landscape. The maps provided a bird's-eye view of the terrain, helping the hunters navigate with precision to the best areas for their pursuit.
As the group ventured deeper into the refuge, they discussed Blind Leases. Each hunter strategically positioned themselves in carefully concealed blinds, patiently awaiting the perfect moment to take their shot. T
In their pursuit of the ultimate duck hunting experience, the hunters got information on Duck Hunting Clubs in the area. These clubs, steeped in tradition and camaraderie, offered unique insights into the rich tapestry of waterfowl hunting in California. The stories shared within these clubs became an integral part of the hunters' collective experience.
As the day unfolded, the hunters reveled in the beauty of the refuge, with flocks of ducks gracefully taking flight against the backdrop of a setting sun. The rhythmic calls and quacks of waterfowl echoed through the air, creating a symphony that celebrated the vibrant life within the refuge.
With bags laden with the day's harvest and hearts filled with the joy of a shared passion, the hunters made their way back from Los Banos Wildlife Refuge. The Duck Reports, Refuge Maps, and the knowledge gained from https://huntingleasescalifornia.com about Duck Hunting Clubs had not only enhanced their chances of a successful hunt but had also deepened their connection to the rich heritage of waterfowl hunting in the remarkable expanse of the Los Banos Wildlife Refuge.
