Quick Tips

Conditions during the antelope hunting season can be quite warm. It is critical you are prepared to properly care for the meat if you harvest an animal
The most comprehensive map of the area is the Modoc National Forest map. BLM surface management maps may also be useful
The BLM surface management maps for Zone 6 are the Alturas and Cedarville maps

Zone 6 covers portions of Lassen and Modoc counties in the northeast corner of California.

Dismal Swamp is anything but dismal and is actually nice and a good place to begin your exploration of this zone. If you don't know the zone (like most places), it can be very difficult compounded by the distance many of the hunters will have to travel to scout it thoroughly.
