I, like you, hunt D3-5 in CA. Scout early in the morning and set up your game cam in places where the woods meet an open area. The blacktail in the area LOVE the dense brush and shooting lanes are tough to find, especially here in Lake Tahoe. Get out vey early in the AM and get out often...
Greetings to you all from the South Lake Tahoe, CA area. Zone D-5 is a staple and X-8 is the closest draw. Contemplating an X-12 draw next year to mix it up. I've hunted desolation during archery thus far, but no luck. Looking forward to spending time here, thanks!
Hey guys. I've been hunting the rugged South Lake Tahoe, CA region to no avail this archery season. Anybody out there hunt this zone (D-5 in particular)? Any success? Any advice? Thanks. Your input is always greatly appreciated!
