Are you not allowed to hunt in Sequoia NF or Kings Canyon or just the park?

Justin,
You can hunt the national forest, but not the Kings or Sequoia National parks.
Well then I might just go for a walk! Any takers?!?! If so contact gab for a waiver, and release of liability.
I hunt up there every year and have shot a few bucks up there. If you want to get away from people and have a chance at a big buck you have to hike in a few miles.
With that being said hiking while hunting up here will get you nowhere. Best approach to that zone is to hike in before first light and find a spot to sit and stay there for hours. It's so thick up there that if you just walk you will never see anything shootable. Find an area that you can see that they cross from timber patch to timber patch and just wait for them to come into the open. Archery or rifle in D7 will not be long shots so the same concept works for both. All of my deer up there were within 100 yards.
I'll be heading up the 15th for the opener so good luck!!

I actually do since I don't care to have to camp 7 miles back in by myself , but would you be willing to hike in that far and have all your backcountry gear ?
