When I was in the Navy and stationed at North Island, January 1971 through December 1973, the Marines provided us with a wonderful hunting preserve called Camp Pendleton. Getting off at 3 pm (1500) if traffic was good, I could check in with the Game Management Unit and have a good hour and a half to two hours at the pond near the old hacienda. Lots of Doves. Also, great quail hunting for the young and fit and in those days Band-tailed Pigeons in the higher hills when they came through.
