Prescott?

[wsucowboy]

I was wondering if any body has been hunting Prescott so far? If so how are the deer numbers looking, see any good bucks this year?

[Caseyd]

Havnt hunted it yet, only 3 weeks 

The numbers look good, should be a good year.

There was a big fire out there by Eureka. Dont know what that did?

[Woodchuck]

that fire was didnt hurt too much, mostly sage. caused by some guys shooting a .50 bmg prone. rumored they were shooting tracers, but dont know that for sure, still seeing lots of deer

If it's anything like last year, expect a pickup truck in every pull out opening morning...   I don't know why we got hit so hard down here in this corner last year, but I heard rumored that it had to do with the winter kill in the Colville area.  Hope we don't get hit like that again.  I talked to one gamey that said he checked 72 trucks on one road between noon and 3:00pm on opening day.

Well I wouldn't go to that road  I don't know who said that there are deer out there  I try to wait till monday/tuesday those areas seem to be a little funner about that time!

Good idea.  I shot mine on Tuesday last year.  Only saw one other guy out there...

You talking about the fire out by Struthers?  Heard the same thing

[Woodchuck]

i believe thats the one, it burned a long ways, but didnt hurt much

There was one on the west side of Harvey Shaw Rd and south of 124 that burned some of the river bottom, wheat fields and up the hill.  If you get over towards Eureka you can barely see the burn area from 124.  I've been back and forth on 124 quite a bit and have only seen a few does.

[Caseyd]

Yeah mostly just wheat

I think I like Sumpinneedskillin's assessment.  All the deer in that area died in the fire (except 2 does).  You guys should go hunt in Colville.  Their economy needs a boost anyway.

I Think you are right, same thing that happened to the elk
