G6 Kern River Buck Hunt 2017

Not too sure about that unit but i know a little I guess, i would start by Hunting high potentially near johnsondale and moving down in elevation toward X10, especially if there isn’t much sign. Don’t waste your time Hunting where there isn’t sign. If your going toward Kings river, shit, bring your walking shoes. I know a couple guys with D8 tags and X10 tags of this year. The D8 guys didn’t see much and they hunted near I wanna say Black Rock USFS station. The X10 guys saw hundreds of deer not many bucks... yet. This was September so i imagine by now the bucks are hopefully around wherever the does are. I hope this is helpful

Thanks, will probably need to be as high as possible with no weather in the forecast, maybe some rain on Monday but probably no snow
 
Congrats. What was elevation where you were at ?
At 7500' + we started looking Thursday night and only say 2 deer before Sat morning. Saw this buck and 4 does around 9am, decided to take him because of the warm weather. Went to Sherman Pass on Friday am and no snow or deer sign, locals said they are just starting to move over from the Golden Trout Wilderness, but only a few.
