New check in / out procedures

[ltdann]

VAFB has instituted new check in and out procedures, all automated. You can check in/out with your smart phone using this website:

https://vandenberg.isportsman.net

Purchasing your annual access fee (now $75) can be done at the website.

Note: the Zulu zones are no more and there is mandatory UXO brief before you will be allowed to purchase your access permit.

It looks pretty easy and a few guys have purchased permits and say it's simple as can be.

Good luck!

is the UXO brief online?

[ltdann]

Yes, it's my understanding that you have to do the brief before it'll let you buy the permit.

I have been using, testing and providing feedback on the app for almost a month.

Overall, I like the iSportmen remote check-in. It is a significant improvement for the hunting experience. I think the biggest issue will be that hunters will need to be aware of the phone/data reception dead zones on base. In some areas, hunters will need to check in prior to entering the dead zones or go to high ground, which I don't recommend because of the possibility of not legally taking game in the area you are hunting.

I provided several recommendations. Some were implemented and as for others, Officer Moses is still considering.

Only big game harvest has to be reported. (Deer and hogs)

Would a AO tag work for hunting on Vandenberg AFB?

The AO tag may be used for archery only during the archery season and general season.
