D15 is a California deer hunting zone where there's just not a lot of bucks taken each year and for good reason. Sitting squarely in Southern California, which boasts a human population of more than 22,000,000, a hunter has to work extremely hard to find deer to shoot, let alone a good buck.

    Wow, nice buck. Hunting and SoCal are not usually things that go together. Talk about obstacles to overcome…

    Is that single shot rifle even legal there?

    I cant imagine how much work it took to find that darn thing. You just do not see deer here in SoCal. And they are NEVER that big

    I've hunted SoCal for a long time, and bucks like that dont come by often. Great Job!
