Blacktail On
In addition, much of the public land administered locally by the National Forest Service — Six Rivers National Forest, Klamath National Forest and Mendocino National Forest — falls into zone “B1,” and hunting is allowed in most places. If you want to be sure of your zone, or if you want to be sure that hunting is permitted in the corner of the forest you’re eyeing, you can give them a call. You can reach Six Rivers at 442-1721, Klamath at (530) 842-6131 and Mendocino at (530) 934-3316.
I wish all of the sportsmen and sportswomen who have read this article luck and a successful 2007 blacktail campaign. To all of you, remember the future of the sport of hunting lies in the youth and the next generation. So the next time you go out for a hunt, bring your son or daughter, or a neighborhood youth who may not have an outlet to the great outdoors and to the great sport of hunting.
This will be an experience a child will never forget. Ask any sportsman or woman about their first successful harvest of a blacktail buck and you will see the joy in their eyes as they tell you their story.
