California Hunters? Where you at?

[iseebucks]

Santa Rosa here, have hunted D5 the last few years, looking to mix it up and pack into B zone this year if I don’t draw X3B.

Just curious, how did you like hunting D5? I have heard there are bigger bucks in d3-5 than b zone.

D3-5 is very crowded. 35,000 tags. Bucks may be bigger because they're mule deer instead of blacktail.

Good bear population, I know there are some big bucks up there for sure but the deer numbers are definitely down in the last 5 years. Most places it’s hard to get away from the roads.

Recently relocated to Fresno. Originally grew up in Vacaville hunting North A, G1, D3-5. Excited to start figuring out all the new country surrounding me. I have a lot of scouting to do this summer.

Grew up and usually hunt out of Redding but, living in Santa Rosa. I’ll get a B tag for sure, planning to pack into the Yolla bollys this season and if I can get access to something local I’d love to get an A tag and be able to show my 2 year old a buck on the ground.

Ukiah CA. Lucky enough to have a couple of small tracts of private land to hunt with my posse. I've hosted many out of town folks who are blown away at how difficult these deer are to hunt.

Roughly 1/10 Americans reside in California, and although its run by dingdongs , there are many who whackum and stackum.. Backpacking is always a great option.

Butte County, of the Oroville Dam spillway and Camp Fire notoriety.

I’m in Modesto here, usually hunt D5 and D6 more experience in D6 but found a nice area I just can’t walk away from in D5 the last couple years.

And (without passing judgement based on this fact) about 50% of the population west of the Mississippi is in CA.

B zone here.

Giving G1 a try this year. Previously hunted B, C, D3-5.

Modesto, D5 and D6. I usually backpack solo. I'm always down to meet up and BS with like minded folks. I'm open to PM's if you hunt the area and like Jameson.

Sonoma here. I usually hunt B zone but this year I am trying out some private land in A zone. I also drew a Surprise Valley antelope tag.

That's awesome. How did you get the access? I need some ideas because public land in A zone is terrible.

Ugh. Ojai today on A zone opening was a bust!
