CA seems to hunt. Drives and 'walk & stalk' seem common for deer & elk. In the desert, tree stands would be tough. Don't know about legality of tree stands but, have only known one person that used a portable tree stand. Have never seen a constructed tree stand. Stories abound concerning easterners that come west for a hunt and go home after a half day of tramping the high desert mountains.

The CA mountains have a lot of survey problems. When the state hired a surveyor to mark the NE corner of the state he missed by a half mile or so.
The Supreme Court settled that issue by declaring that where the marker was, would be the corner of CA, NV & OR.
The property lines of my place don't run N-S & E-W. They are off by 1.2 degrees or so even though the local section corner marker is one corner of my property. This is all tied to the fact that most property in this area originated as mining claims in the 1800's that were subsequently patented and passed to private ownership. Hence, the original property lines were established by a drunk miner driving stakes in the ground and parcels run at any angle you can think of.
