Folks, I get a laugh at all the people on here wanting to know were peoples lake is to go hunting. I will be the first to tell you the truth. I grew up in Chatsworth and hunted peoples lake area for many many years. The reason I hunted it is because it was close to were I lived and I just did not have anywhere else to hunt. There are some big deer there but, they are few and far between. your talking about probably less than 5 deer per square mile. And that varies depending on the acorns. It's rough land steep mountains with few deer. But, like I said I have seen some big bucks come from there just don't expect to even see a deer if you go hunting there. It has been several years since I have hunted that area and don't ever plan on hunting it again. There are better places to hunt with a lot more deer. I live one county over from there now and I have heard of peoples windows getting knocked out while riding the rock creek atv trail located there. oh, and if you have kids that want to get into hunting please don't take them to peoples lake. I use to take my kids there and we hardly ever saw a deer and I would make them climb those steep ridges. So, out of 3 sons I only have one that has a slight interest in hunting. Take them somewhere that they can see a deer ever once in a while and it will not kill them climbing mountains. Well, just wanted to let everyone know the truth about the place. Good Luck
