@willfrye027 Thanks for info and Fresno is basically the same latitude as Independence! Meant latitude in my original post I see I put longitudinally. Meant the spot in the Sierras rain map showing 20 to 70 percent rain accumalation is basically due West of Indpendence? As is Fresno? By the...

Well folks about to think about hunting next Fall? Follow-up on my rain fall in the Owens Valley / Eastern Sierra hunt areas this past winter primary focus on G3 zone area(s). On March 5 of this year, I listed the percentage of normal yearly rainfall received for Independence, California, at 45...

@HS Do you think your deer harvested this year might be in that area all year? Or migrated into the area?

HS tweaking me up for a hike now.

@HS thanks for detailed hunt description....know a couple of times glassing I said I know they are there....but never materialized LOL One thing I have done is snap pictures with your best camera on different hillsides when out. I review the pics when home again. Not much luck there either...

@HS Yes the mine road. To the top a 3000 foot climb I think. I made it past the bulldozer. Done a 3000 feet climb in a day but not that day. Knew guys that purposely climbed to 11k from 5K in a day for the thrill but not me LOL.

Not that exciting, but once this year I could see a buck in the picture from the Sage Flat camera... from the Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District website. Any camera known to be able to do such a thing in G3 area?

Hope you can get out next December! Amazed at how many deer have been in my video or pics that I never noticed when the media was captured till post review! A buddy of mine and I tried to hike to the top of the mine road and we petered out. Anyone gone that far? HS's deer was top...

A time after an early Fall snow in the G3 zone. Click on link below: 4 By having Lunch

For those interested. Most of the storms this winter dropped low snow amounts and it was relatively in higher altitudes in the slopes West of Independence than in years past in my observation? There have been years past more rain in Independence in one week than the amount of rain for this...

over barbed wire

thanks for messages

Noone has any experinces to offer on the subject?

I have sited many Mule Deer over the years in areas with wire fences in California. Mostly barbed wire. Doubt I have not had the opportunity to observe the deer jumping over or through the fences which seems strange since fences are everywhere save once. However, viewing an old video of mine I...

Thanks for posts mulebuck and willfrye027. Interesting dialog. Never personnaly have seen mule deer hunting all that great in the Sierras since they had doe hunts in the early 60s from X-12 to X-10. Always wondered about that management decision? And those as old as I am remember one deer tags...
