Another interesting development I learned today from the Ranger. It's the first weekend of Deer Hunting Season so there will be alot more hunters than normal that weekend. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Also Michael, we need to have a couple of backup camp sites in case the site's we'll be at are full. Caruthers canyon will likely be full or near full that weekend. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />


Ray, I was on this road, and in Caruthers in particular, two times in the middle of October. I remember I saw a few hunters in Caruthers. Both times Caruthers was rather empty. There were some people, but there was plenty of place. Caruthers is a large area with dispersed camping places.

I am not a hunter, but from my prospective, if I'd hunt deers, Mojave would be probably the last place around where I would go. I do not remember any deers in Mojave. You can find plenty of coyotes, small rodents and tarantulas in Mojave but that's basically it.

I suppose that most hunters will be camping in organized campgrounds. I was camping in Mid Hills campground (about 1.5 hours drive from Caruthers) and it was filled may be only 30% of its capacity.

I think that Caruthers is a safe place to set the meeting place.
