[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 957722, member: 33822"] I grew up in California, and its an amazingly beautiful state. My mom still lives there so we visit every year with the kids. Although I do not think it is the ideal place to hunt for many reasons that others have already said. But because of the remoteness and the elevation, I never had to deal with other people or with any extreme temps. In fact some of the coldest hunts I've been on have been up in the Sierra's. I backpack hunted for mulies up high in the Sierra's all along the PCT for years when I was in my 20's. Near Hunting Lake, Florence, Edison, and south around Kings Canyon. I can honestly say that is some of the most beautiful country on God's earth. Just not lots of deer. I called my hunts "armed fishing trips"... I would get up to some of the high lakes... Gordon, Harvey, Hooper, (anybody here been to those or heard of them, they are near Florence Lake) and catch Golden Trout. Around Huntington there are bears everywhere... would always run into them, and close. Even though I rarely shot deer, I loved how I would never see anybody. literally I could go on a week long hunt and see not a single other person. I did meet one guy in my adventures that I still keep in touch with, and let me tell you, he knows that country and shoots deer. I know that country, but not like him, and I did not have the time to dedicate like he does. He still sends me pics of his deer every year. So it can be done. I live in Colorado now, and have to deal with more people, but LOTS more elk and deer. Although I miss the Sierra's, I don't miss them that much. And my biggest complaint about Colorado, is that it's quite a drive to get to the Pacific Ocean. I grew up fishing and spear-fishing/free-diving and scuba diving all throughout the Monterey Peninsula. But probably another forum for those stories. [/QUOTE]
