do any of you backpack and camp in the san bernardino national forrest during your hunt or just hunt for the day and walk back to the truck at dusk?
I am new to the deer hunting sport and live in Yucaipa, ca. and suggestions on where i should start scouting and what to look for?
There is deer all over D14, however with a very low success rate, they are tough to find. Pick an area and start scouting, maybe set a trail cam or two see what's in the area. You live really close to the forest, so it shouldn't be hard to get up there and scout. Good luck
no i have been up looking the last 2 days and am going again tomorra morning. what kind of landscape should i look for? (oak trees, aspen trees, pine, or sage brush?) or does it even matter i was looking up by dry lake but it looks like a pretty popular area for trail hikers and its quite the hike with the access road closed.
Access road closed areas are always good because they will keep a lot of the lazy out, but if it's a high recreation area for hikers, it might not be a good spot. As far as what type of terrain, It depends where you would like to hunt. I've seen deer in real thick stuff as well as the more open country. It also depends on your style of hunting. If you have good optics and enjoy glassing, I would pick an area that is more open to glass. The most important thing about being successful in a zone like D14 is to keep at it and don't give up.
