Hunting on the decline in California
By Pauline Bartolone, Capitol Public Radio
Hunting in California has been in a sharp decline for the past four decades.
About 250,000 Californians hunted deer, pigs, bear and birds last year. In 1970, there were almost 700,000 hunters.
Dan Yparraguirre, a deputy director with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife says urbanization is likely one of many causes for the decline.
