Hunter numbers did seem to be up on public land in 272 and 136 this year. Maybe because of the fires?
There is a 240 acre parcel of blm land across from my driveway that hasn't had a lot of pressure in the past due to no parking and very little shoulder on the road. This year it was like people were hunting in shifts. One truck would leave and another would pull up and so on all day everyday. Never seen anything like it. I think technology has a little to do with it. No local spots anymore with ONX and other apps.
