As with many zones in California the natural cycle of wildfire aids the deer habitat creating additional edge cover and young sprouts providing food.Due to the lush nature of vegetation in this area many illegal, outdoor cannabis operations are present on public land. Keep aware of your surroundings. If a garden is discovered, back away quietly and notify authorities.

The terrain is very steep and rugged and vegetation can be extremely dense. As with all of the mountains in the B zone, heavy rainfall over the history of the mountain range has eroded much of his area creating steep mountain ranges.

The vegetation is highly varied throughout Zone B1 ranging from coastal scrub, oak-woodland, hardwood-conifer, and dense conifer forests to some alpine habitats.

The weather in this region is highly variable so be prepared. The weather is usually quite hot and dry away from the coast, but early thunderstorms are common. Hunting success will likely be limited in hot and dry years.

Primary roadways in Zone B-2 are Interstate 5 (eastern B-2), State Highway 3 (north-south B-2), State Highway 299 (central B-2), State Highway 36 (southern B-2) and State Highway 96 (northern B-2). Many County, USFS and BLM roads branch off of these primary roadways providing access to public lands.

Public lands within the zone are administered by the Klamath, Shasta-Trinity and Six Rivers National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management.

There are numerous designated campgrounds within Zone B-2. The facilities available at these campgrounds vary from primitive campsites to campsites with running water and showers. Most campgrounds are clearly marked on USFS and BLM maps. Camping outside of designated campgrounds is usually permitted on BLM and USFS lands.
