Tripod Burn Bucks??????

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

The subject came up again and curious if there has been very good success in the Tripod Burn for Bucks this year?

You can guess with 85% certainty which ones came from there in the success thread.

I think the paper said three bucks were checked in Winthrop on the opener.

3 bucks out of the 500,000 hunters......good odds! Lol

The tripod bucks definitely have some unique racks.  I saw a few this week that looked like they crowned.

We (16 guys) hunted Ramsey, Perrygine, Boulder Creek, Cougar, etc. for over a week. Never saw one gamey or check station. Was the only one on 20 out of Winthrop? Not very scientific, IMO.

Never has been Rickomatic.   It used to be further up the road.  If you wanted to avoid the hassle you just took the other side of the river.

My son was the only one out of our group to score. He gat a small 3x4 on Wednesday 4 miles past the gate on the 200 road towards Boulder Creek. Took 3 of us 2 hours to take in the game cart. He had just gotten it down to the road. It was pouring rain. Is that fun, or what?

I would not bet on that being a "Tripod" characteristics, last year there were at least 4 bucks I know of taken in the "Pearygyn/Bear Creek region that all had larger then typical (for that area) dark with knots, crowns, and Palmations. In all the years hunting there I never saw that many large dark racks.
Unless they were Tripod bucks on the move, early
LOL

I remember as a kid(7 or 8 yrs old) back in the early 60,s the grandparents had me convinced that the bucks they would shoot around Pipestone or up around Harts pass had legs that were shorter on one side of their body than the other cause they grew up and lived in such steep country. They would lay them on the ground and hold there legs just right to even show me,so it must be true ..All kidding aside,I think the ash from that fire has helped in some antler growth for deer hanging in that area,I know a few locals over there that say they even dump the ash from there wood stoves in certain areas of there property where deer feed for antler growth. If its true and if it works there will be some big bucks living south of twisp all the way to the columbia river in the next couple years!....my

Maybe that's where all the big bucks have gone.  We need to let more fires burn instead of putting them out.
