Don't laugh.  It's real.

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.

I didn't go there last year, first year in 10 years that i didn't go to Prescott. My dad went and didn't say anything about there being alot of people over there, so maybe he was on a different road? Thanks to the people that gave some good information. I'm looking forward to being over there in about 3 weeks.

if you have private to hunt it wont be bad, most ffth land is a zoo, besides there arent any deer left there

[wsucowboy]

well regardless of deer being there or not i'm going over there. I hunt on the public land

[Woodchuck]

Good luck to you, i will be headed to a different pumpkin patch

It wasn't just one road, that's just the one I talked to the Gamey about. 
I was in a FFTH spot that (I thought) was walk-in only.  There are usually 3 or 4 other guys in there opening weekend.  Last year, there were no less than 12.  Some of them had even driven their pickups in there.  I hiked PathfinderJRs 10 year old butt an hour and a half through the freezing fog to get to the finger we had been scouting from.  Pretty demoralizing for the fog to lift and him to be staring across the draw at two fat guys sitting in their truck with the heater on, eating %$#@ donuts   .  I don't know, maybe they got permission from the landowner or something

there is quite a buddy system out there

I used to hunt out there a fair bit, got tired of the growing numbers of knuckleheads.

I will say, I did see a couple of bucks out there that interested me this year. I would hunt them but I'm hoping for something a little better.

[Pathfinder101]

You know, I went back and looked at some of my pictures from last year.  I never noticed the sign before.  Maybe I'll hunt Colville this year too...

[Woodchuck]

Looks like that may be a better bet

I know two years ago i went over there and there was some jack a** out there driving through the CRP. I was pissed! We have always had pretty good success over there. There's only been a few years that i have had to eat my tag, both of those years had i shot better i would have had a buck. Pathfinder i don't know what area you hunt over there but we always have hunted off of skyrockett rd.

While scouting that area 2 weeks ago i saw 12 legal bucks. The deer are there, but like previously posted there is plenty of hunters as well.

I have hunted the Skyrockets before.  Generally I hunt a little south of there now.  One of the problems is that there is no muzzy season in Unit 154, so all the blackpowder hunters hunt the Prescott unit.  I see a lot of good muzzy bucks taken during that season.  Rifle hunters get what is left.
