C4 zone has lots of deer, good public access, a high hunter success rate and, for some reason it is underrated. If you are
still undecided on where you’re going
hunt this fall, Zone C4 early season
Hunters will find better access the deer are still up in the summer range in Lassen National Forest.
That‘s right, there’s still time to purchase one of the remaining
tags before September opener, and that’s only the first hunt period. Thousands of tags remain for the second period hunt which begins Oct. 24 and lasts through Nov. 15.
The state's
largest migratory deer herd—the East
Tehama blacktail herd—makes its home
in Zone C4. The buck harvest in Zone C4 is more than twice as high as the state’s average. Hunter
success has ranges from 17 to 20
percent, still double the state’s lowly
10 percent mark.
Access to Zone C4
Hunters will be pleasantly surprised with lots of prime deer
country throughout Lassen National
Forest in parts of six counties—Tehama, Shasta, Lassen, Plumas, Butte and Glenn. With the exception
of Zone A, no other deer zone
encompasses so many counties.
Hunters will find better access in the first period because
a majority of the deer are still up in
the summer range in Lassen National
Forest, public property. However, deer are widely scattered throughout the mixed conifers and
brush fields, so plan on getting off the
beaten trail and walking on foot or
riding horses in order to seek out those bucks.
Second period hunters, on the other hand, have decent access to BLM and national forest lands, but
most of the winter range is made up of
private property. Bowhunters shoot quite a few nice bucks in the 5,000- to
8,000-foot elevation in the Chester area, northwest of Lake Almanor.
Other noteworthy spots in the northeastern corner of
the zone include Morgan Summit and along
the creek beds of theNorth Fork of the Feather River but remember Lassen Volcanic National Park, that's off limits
to hunting!
First-period hunters should start looking for deer in the high country along the edges of Lassen Park, particularly in the timbers and meadow. Perhaps the best
thing about deer hunting in Zone C4 is
the fact that the deer are migratory, which means they move from the summer to winter range as the
seasons and food sources change.
Each fall, 65,000 blacktail deer move from the summer range down to the winter range where they
spend the fall breeding and the winter
months eating and surviving on the blue
oak acorns and greenup. Hunting success
in this zone is highly dependent on the
migration season, but it’s a guessing game trying to determine when the deer will head to the lowlands. lt changes from year to year, depending on
the available feed.
