The best map for the hunt area is that of the Tahoe National Forest. The map can be obtained by visiting or calling the USFS office listed above. In most years, storms arrive during the deer season. Although storms are usually not serious, hunters should always be prepared for the event of a storm. Snow may fall at higher elevations but normally lasts only a short time.
Roads usually dry out quickly.
Most of the area is accessible with a two-wheel drive vehicle. Four-wheel drive may be required in some locations. Hunters should carry a shovel, water, spare tire and other emergency supplies in case of a breakdown. Due to the complex road system in the Tahoe National Forest, horse packing and backpacking are not necessary. There are several USFS campgrounds within the hunt zone and these are shown on the map of the Tahoe National Forest.
