Wanted to head out this weekend since the forest is open for day use. Problem is all the campgrounds are showing closed online. Anyone heading out? Might get a hotel I guess...

How’s the weather out there? Going to be up there this weekend, going to camp in the non danger burn area.

we went out this weekend , surprisingly busy. I was shocked at the amount of guys driving 3 hours to hunt for the morning , then drive back home .

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Discouraging a little but man I need to get out in the woods. See any good bucks? Bears?

I went out today. Hiked my tail off into new to me country. Saw 2 does and boot tracks. Made it up to 8800’. Pretty Smokey in the morning.

I was curious about how the smoke was, glad you got out! Anyone camping? We’re you in the high or moderate fire areas?

Went out this weekend and put in 10 miles up too 9200ft. Bumped two does and saw 4 hunters and a hiker. Some bear tracks but never found anything. Super smoky made it hard to glass 😫 also very dry up there.

bear sign was every where , but didn't see one . Found a few deer but no shooters . hiking around the 6500 to 8500 ranges . Heard a couple shots fired , but haven't seen anything worth shooting . 2020 is a odd freaking year

You fellows end up connecting with anything in D6? I hunted the high country, backpacked in. Finally found a couple of bucks, but lost them. Learned a bit about some of that country.

Heck, I've hunted D6 three seasons now, haven't had any luck. I often get a buck in B zone. But I'm determined to figure out D6. I love that part of the Sierra, and it's closer to home.

I chased a forky around for an hour and eventually lost him. Weekend before in a different are I bumped a 4x4 and a 3x3 😞 47 yards and I couldn’t get a shot through the trees. Good learning experience and got some good spots for next year!
