Tripod fire new growth
« on: August 25, 2013, 06:21:32 PM »
Anyone hunt this general area in the last two years? Curious how its been. We spent most of the weekend scouting the area, one doe and that was it. Not much sign at all. I did find some scat which I doubt was deer. Anyone have an idea of the animal?

Why don't you ask that question to the guy that shot that monster buck there last year. Undoubtedly there will be a mass number of hunters there this year after the news got out.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Never heard about this "monster" buck. It's not going to be one of those areas that all the hunters will be shoulder to shoulder is it?
Thanks for input fellas.

There will be a lot of hunters in there as there has been for the last several years.  Obviously with lots of hunters in that area, somebody is bound to get a "monster".  I'd like to see the harvest rate of how many deer per hundred hunters throughout the entire Tripod burn.  Bet it's MUCH lower than most would think.

Lets see, you shorten the season to 9 days, force every hunter that hunts the area, to take vacation at the same time, all into the same window, and then are surprised that every legal buck in the unit gets killed because there is at least one hunter placed in every 1/4 acre area, leaving zero chance for escapement. :chuckle:

One word for WDFW.............brilliant!!! :chuckle:
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!
