About NorCalHunt
At NorCalHunt, we're hunters first.
We're just two local boys who grew up chasing game across Northern California. From blacktail deer in the timber to waterfowl in the marsh, hunting has been a way of life for us for more than 50 years. Along the way, we've built lasting friendships, trained great hunting dogs, and collected stories that can only be earned through time spent outdoors.
Like many hunters, we grew tired of bouncing between websites to find the information we needed before every trip. Weather was on one site, regulations on another, sunrise and sunset times somewhere else, and gear recommendations scattered all over the internet.
We believed there had to be a better way.
So we built NorCalHunt—a place where hunters can find the tools and information they rely on before every hunt. Whether you're checking the weather, reviewing California hunting regulations, looking up shooting and solunar times, researching products, or planning your next deer, waterfowl, upland bird, or predator hunt, our goal is to put everything at your fingertips.
Built on Experience
Between us, we have more than 50 years of hunting experience throughout Northern California. We've hiked ridges in search of blacktail deer, waited in flooded blinds for ducks and geese, followed bird dogs across upland fields, and introduced family and friends to the traditions that make hunting so rewarding.
We're not professional guides or social media influencers. We're simply two local boys who love the outdoors and wanted to build the resource we always wished existed.
Hunting Dogs Are Family
Some of our best hunting partners have four legs.
Whether it's a Labrador making a perfect retrieve on a cold waterfowl morning, a pointer locking up on quail, or another trusted hunting companion doing what it was bred to do, we know the bond between a hunter and a good dog is something special. That's why you'll find content, products, and resources dedicated to hunting dogs right alongside everything else we share.
More Than Information
Every hunter has a story.
Some are about the buck that got away. Others are about the duck hunt you'll never forget, a dog that exceeded every expectation, or a campfire shared with lifelong friends. Those stories are what connect us as hunters, and we believe they're just as valuable as maps, weather forecasts, and regulations.
Our goal is to publish a weekly newsletter filled with practical hunting information, seasonal tips, gear recommendations, regulation updates, waterfowl reports, product reviews, hunting stories, and insights from hunters across Northern California. We want it to be something you look forward to reading before every weekend in the field.
Built by Hunters. Improved by Hunters.
NorCalHunt is proudly independently owned and operated. We're not backed by a large media company or outdoor corporation. This site exists because two local boys wanted to build something useful for the Northern California hunting community.
But we also know the best information doesn't come from just us.
It comes from the hunters who are in the field every weekend.
That's why we encourage our subscribers to share their hunting stories, photos, tips, product reviews, waterfowl reports, successful strategies, and ideas for new features. Your experiences help make NorCalHunt more accurate, more useful, and a better resource for everyone who visits.
If you have information that could help another hunter, we'd love to hear from you. The more our subscribers contribute, the better this community becomes.
Our Commitment
Our commitment is simple: provide honest, practical, and up-to-date information that helps Northern California hunters spend less time searching and more time hunting.
Whether you're preparing for deer season, chasing ducks at first light, running your bird dog through the uplands, or introducing the next generation to the outdoors, we hope NorCalHunt becomes one of your trusted resources and a community you're proud to be part of.
Thanks for stopping by.
We'll see you in the field.
