Hunting in Santa Cruz

Hunting is a favorite pastime for many of the city’s most rugged residents, many of whom long to be outdoors and in the elements, braving the innate conflict between Man and Nature. Santa Cruz hunting can be more accessible than most know, with local preserves and forests setting aside certain areas and species to be hunted by those who are licensed to do so. A good number of hunting and fishing groups have also sprung up around town, bringing together all who have an affinity for the thrill of the hunt.
