Mendota Wildlife Area

This weekend we went out to Mendota Wildlife Area to go hunts ducks.  Many people dont know you can duck hunt out there. But there is many places to hunt at mendota. Mendota Wildlife Area is the biggest wildlife area in California with 12,000 acres and can allow up to 600 hunters.


We wake up at 4am because you have to so you can get a good pond where the ducks like to go to.  so i wake up at 4 am and i am really tired because i didnt get off of work until 9 pm friday night and we had to wake up at 4 am saturday morning .  plus i still had to go home and get my stuff ready to go and sleep in the trailer at mendota.  once they rangers let us in to the refuge we had to haul butt out to the pond we wanted because i heard theres been alot of ducks and geese around there so many people were going there to the spot we were going to . we had people on our butt from the check station to the parking lot. it was bad.

When we got to the road we walk on to the pond we did a drop off move and had a runner go and save the tule patch we wanted to hunt.  thank god we got the spot because we had a good day we shot 21 ducks and 2 geese. What a Day! Jordan Espino
