Well I wouldn't go to that road :chuckle: I don't know who said that there are deer out there :dunno: 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...

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

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.
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. 8)

If it's anything like last year, expect a pickup truck in every pull out opening morning... :twocents: 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.

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 :dunno:

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.
