Two native trout species, the Warner and Goose Lake redband trout, are at serious risk from unmanaged off-highway vehicle use and the proliferation of new roads in the forest. The Modoc boasts exceptional hunting for both upland birds and large game species such as Rocky Mountain Elk and California Mule Deer.
