Is it worth a trip up to Princeton surrounding areas for deer for a week or is it over hunted waste of time?

Buddy was up there last week.
His opinion was the fires and smoke disrupted things in the area.
The old stomping grounds didn't produce much.
A few deer, but not many.
Again, it was my friend that went up, so i cant say whether he hunted the area well enough??
He ended up going up to 70 mile, but again, since the season opened (lots of deer), the deer were fairly scarce.
Take what you want from that.

A week ? absolutely
Never say whoa in the middle of a mud hole
Worth it particularly if you can hunt mid week and avoid the weekends.
No shortage of deer up there. A couple of buddies have seen very good numbers so far this year. A few smaller bucks and lots of does. Get in there and hunt it hard for the week. Weekends are busy everywhere so no need to worry about that.
It's only over hunted near the roads.
And beware, when people say "princeton" it could generally mean from tulameen to keremeos.
Don't be like me when I started hunting and think Princeton literally meant 2km out of town. Because in that case, yes, it's overhunted!
Man, I used to love hunting up Pike mountain back in the mid 90’s….
Shot a great Muley in the alpine overlooking the coke toll booth one year too.
It's a really cool area, you never know what you might find in a week.
I appreciate the feedback I understand “Princeton” Is huge and just like anywhere else you gotta prepare to get off the beaten path I’m very green to hunting up there still trying to figure out where to go
