Title: Tripod fire new growth
Post by: troyspinetar 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?

Thanks for input fellas.

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:
