Mike your to funny.
Mike hit it on the bulls eye, it's tough hunting here, HOT, STEEP, & BRUSHY describes this area, however there are honey holes and pockets there.
When I first started hunting the Angeles Crest 30 years ago, we would see deer every time we drove up the mountain.
Some ethnic groups started poaching all of the deer from the road and it's been 10 years or more sense I've seen a deer on the road.
The amazing thing is that there are any deer at all, with 33,000,000 people within an hour or two of there.
There was a bear poached out of the Crest that scored 22" and was the same year shuttleworth shot the world record just a few hours north, they have big bears there, the deer are a hybrid, more black-tail than muley, there small about 105-130lbs average weight.
There is a long season in SoCal. about 6 months long.
PS, I have stumble onto the pot field, scary stuff, I did not realize I was in it, until I saw the drip lines they where using.
The main thing to remember in the Angeles Crest it to get away from the roads, I will usually hike for and hour or two before light, just to get away from any people.
Most of the deer are fork-n-horns
