I took a 4 mile hike this morning on a short section of the PCT that runs just south of Hesperia, Calif. where I live. I occasionally hike here but mostly in the winter and spring months since the summers are just to hot, for me anyways. Today I ran into a guy and his dog and he mentions he was just checking the area out for hunting sites. I guess I never really paid much attention to it since I just figured the PCT was off limits. The area I'm referring to is Deer Hunt Zone 14 - San Bernardino Mountains. I really don't mind hunters but would like to keep my distance when there doing what they do. I did a little browsing and October 8 - November 6 is open season so I will try another area. For safety reasons, can anyone here shed a little more light on the subject of avoiding hunt area's? Thanks
