California Deer Unit X12

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for California Game Management Unit X12.

California's Unit X12 hands deer hunters one of the sharpest vertical transitions in the West, climbing from the 6,400-foot Bridgeport Valley floor to Matterhorn Peak at roughly 12,285 feet, the northernmost 12,000-foot summit in the Sierra. We map how bitterbrush and sage browse, aspen draws, and the East Walker River drainage shape movement, plus the split between the water-rich Sierra creeks and the fast-drying Sweetwater and Bodie country east of US 395, where private ranch inholdings funnel travel onto public slopes. The pack includes Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, and a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose to onX or your favorite hunting map.

How this data was collected

Data Hunt Guide aggregates publicly available sighting reports from across the web (social media, hunting forums, harvest reports, and trail-camera shares) and uses a proprietary algorithm to identify high-activity zones (hotspots) within each unit. Our team verifies coordinates manually before publication.
