Any California hunters out here?
If so, I feel your pain. Maybe we can kick around some ideas/ areas.
I live in western side of area D-5. Knowing that. It takes about 3hrs of drive time to getto a publichuntable area.
Hunting off Hwy 88. From Black SpringsRd up to Bear Res.
I missed out on Bow season due to an injury. I did go up one time during Rifle season. Thatreminded me of why I stopped rifle hunting long ago. Sounded like a war zone all night long. (Needless to say. I did not see anything bigger than a squirrel) After two nights of this. I packed it up and went home. I will never hunt Rifle season in this area again.
Bow season is much different. It is nice andquiet and most years, I have the mountain to myself and see plenty of deer from the seven stand sitesI have set up.
Advice Welcomed.
