We ain't got no early season. We start next month why it is still hot and it starts to rain and storm at the end of the season to get the birds flying good right before it closes 100 days after it starts,This state SUCKS. All the seasons have changed in Ca. just not the hunting seasons,Try bow hunting for deer in 105 degree Temps. Their not only hiding,your sweating so bad you can smell your self coming ;D
