So I've had to make two business trips to north and central California in the past month. I must say that that country really changed my ignorant opinion of California. It doesn't take long to escape the crappiness of the cities and be in some pristine wilderness. Each time I drove through those northern mountains I was doing my usual animal search. I saw a fair amount of deer and some elk.
Anyway, I've been looking at the regs and a blacktail/bear DIY hunt is very feasible. It's my understanding that pressure can be an issue, but that happens anywhere. Success rates aren't spectacular but we're talking about an OTC tag.
Has anyone tried a northern CA deer/bear hunt? Seems like it could be a possible early season option.
