Shooting and Hunting in the Lake Tahoe Basin
Shooting sports activites have been enjoyed for generations and are welcomed on National Forest System lands.
Both state and federal laws apply on National Forest System lands, so you need to check on the state laws and county ordinances which may apply to the area you will be visiting.
Hunting is a seasonal activity, and the rules are simple: Follow the state laws and regulations pertaining to hunting, including seasons, dates and licensing. Forests and grasslands may place some areas as off limits to hunting. So check in with your local Forest Service ranger to be sure you are following all the rules.
Hunting is permitted during hunting seasons designated by the California State Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Licenses are available Online, at any CDFW License Sales Office or License Agent.
