Title: Sierra Pacific
Post by: Sea_Chicken1 on January 20, 2010, 10:37:08 AM: Hi Everyone... I and new to this forum and new to hunting in general. My friend an I are planning to go bear hunting here in a couple months up in gmu418 and I was wondering if anyone knows it it is ok to hunt on Sierra Pacific marked land. Everything else around the baker lake area seems to be gated off.

Hunting is allowed, but its boot, bycicle or horse only. No motorized vehicles behind the gates. If you get an animal down you can contact the Sierra Pacific Security and a lot of times they will come and haul it out for you. I would stop in at the mainline gate in Hamilton and speak with there security guy. He can give you the ins and outs.
