I'll apologist ahead of time if i offend anyone here but i used to Hunt, going back almost 40 years now, outa of a Pit of a little community in the C zones called Big Bend. It's closer to Burnry than Lake Shasta and right on the Pit River, you now might have a better idea of it's general area.
Getting there involves miles of narrow winding roads that take way longer than you would hope when wanting to hunt near there. These past 10 years or so, I have only breezed on thru that country during deer season a couple/few times but imagine that maybe a few here might have more current knowledge of how the deer are doing there abouts.
Years ago for a good duration, my old hunting Pard and i might include another various friend on a venture, a hunting trip there to hunt bucks in a huge steep cinder pit area there. On those weekend trips in the latter part of the season and even being a little picky, we still usually managed to fill our second tags. My Pard once killed a massive 24" 3X3 with 5" eyegards that was probably the heaviest Buck either of us has had to drag out of one of the devil's own hell holes. There was nothing remarkable in the bucks i took those years other than i can say modestly enough that they were all nice bucks.
Any thoughts or stories on Big Bend or maybe it's residents, Iron Canyon Res., the Pit River's fishing thru there, or maybe a buck hunting story? I don't doubt that's it's not near the Country it use to be but it is off the beaten path. Thanks!
