Driving conditions can be rugged, so 4WD vehicles with ample ground clearance are necessary in most good hunting areas. Road and boundary closures have restricted vehicle access to some areas, but you can get maps from the BLM showing the wilderness boundaries.
For 2007, D12 Zone has a quota of 950 tags. The full quota of tags was issued to hunters in 2006. The DFG estimated the success rate in 2007 at only 12 percent, but most hunters we contacted said they saw good numbers of deer on their hunts.
Hunters should visit the DFG's Web site at www.dfg.ca.gov, download and print out the D12 Zone Map, and the 2007 Deer Zone Information pages for Zone D12.
Season dates for D12 in 2007 are Oct. 6 through 28 for archery, and Nov. 3 through 25 for general rifle.
