Did i miss my tag draws for deer in the state of CA, i rember someone telling me (and im stupid for listening instead of looking this up)
That deer tags for undesireable areas like the D zones are easy to simply pick up, while i was reading the fish and game website last night and quite tired at that point it appears i missed the tag draw deadline,
Did i miss all of them? at this point i HAVE to wait untill next year? im not paying to go ranch hunting at all, i was interested in zones D3-5
i realise i have plenty of options otherwise but i was looking forward to some deer hunting this year, thanks guys

You can get a D3-5 tag now, they will NEVER sell out. I think they let 20k or 30k people in that zone.

Both. Don't hunt "Cabbage Patch" area. there will be a hunter ever 50 ft and a road hunter driving by every 30 seconds.

It's sad of the animals taken in this area. It's like fishing, small, young and not any worth taking.

closer than i thought, i snowmobile down highway 4 from monitor pass area, i have an idea of where it is exactly.
i have been checking out areas for a while now, i know how to get away from people and im not lazy about it, i have no problem hiking miles in any direction from anywhere and thats the edge i have on people.
i realise d3-5 is not the most desireable, but in the last few years i have seen some nice shooters, nothing to big but im looking to fill up a meet freezer more than get a trophy

We use to do pretty well at Anderson Ridge, over on the south west side of Iron Mountain. Of course, this was almost 20 years ago. Now we hunt D-3 up around the Buck's Lake area outside Oroville.
