Zone for BackPack hunt

[m_freeman]

Besides the draw zones (Xx) which OTC tag zones in CA offer enhanced odds for a bigger and more bucks by backpacking in? I figure you can't use the DFG success stats for packing in as they include all the day walkers and road hunters as well.

B zone tags are OTC and there are several wilderness areas to choose from. If you need any more help send me a PM, I will help as much as possible.

See my post on the Trinity Alps. There are several areas that burned in 06 and/or 08. Thats where i'd go with a pack. I'm staying away from those areas because with stock and a 5 year old burn, the blowdowns will impossible to navigate. BUT with a backpack, I would focus on them.

I went on a web site ran by the USFS out of Weaverville. Typed in "Trinity Alps Trail report." It lists all of the trails in the Alps. Speaks to their condition, snow level at the time, etc. 2 of the major access points were hit with fire in 06, one burned again in 08.
