Hi truthseeker, welcome to CA. Whereabouts in D-5 are you living? It's a huge zone that covers multiple counties. The success rate for the zone is low but there are a lot of residential deer here also. You can buy a D-5 tag over the counter here and can get a 2nd one if you like (once you establish residency). The D-5 tag is combined with zones D-3 and D-4 so you get a huge area to hunt.

Born to hunt, forced to work.
