Hi guys,
I've been enjoying reading through the forum and since I drew X6A, I'd like to pick some brains w a few questions.

First, I've got the first 10 days off of the season and will be bringing my 9 y/o son. I really want to dedicate as much time as needed to be successful. Being from Sac, I'm planning on driving up with my travel trailer and quad and setting up camp in the forest as a base and then go out on the quad or on foot daily. So the question: where would you recommend that would be accessible with a trailer? I've been looking at Brady's Camp but the website says not recommended for RV's/trailer. I don't mind a little rough road as long as I don't go tumbling down the mountain.

Also, I might not be able to get up there for scouting until the Wednesday before the opener. Would anyone mind giving me a general tip in which area of the unit to focus? I was leaning toward either Antelope lake and use one of those CG's or Grizzly ridge area. Any help is much appreciated.

Happy hunting
 
I would probably hunt further east. Camping at Antelope Lake would be better, or up out of Taylorsville along any of the waterways. But do not drink the water out of those streams! There is another campground (poorly maintained) on the Milford grade near the old Laufman Ranger Station, and another near the "Grease Rack" between Milford and Beckwourth. Also, Crocker Guard Station out of Beckworth. If these fail, then pick a wide spot off the road. As long as you have plenty of water, you will probably have a better experience if you avoid the campground and crowds. Just be damn sure you identify your own unit and avoid the game refuges. Good luck.
 
Awesome. Thanks or the reply. I've been memorizing and studying the heck out of the zone map. I think I'll campt at antelope lake the first night on Wednesday before the opener and while I'm scouting, try to find a good free place to camp that's central. I too have decided to focus on the east side...seems like easier to hunt looking at the more open vegetation. Thanks again. Cheers
