Anyone heading to 3-18/19 October 1st?

[Rusty]

Switching locations this year and going to try 3-18 and 19.
taking my Son with me and hopefully he can fill his tag with his first deer.
Anyone going to be in this large area as well?

[swampdonkey]

Lots of people will be .

[hare_assassin]

Gong show.

[luger]

I'll be amongst the fray , going for my first buck. If it's got antlers it's going down. Got my spots figured out already

[CodyRules]

I'll be hoping for my first buck in that area as well! I was up there last weekend looking for a four point with no luck.

[Rusty]

How much game did you see?

[CodyRules]

Only a few doe's, that's it!

[Rusty]

Lugar,
You must live in the area if you have your spots all picked out? Good luck to you! Post when you get something!

[Rusty]

Cody Mule or Whitetails?

[CodyRules]

mule deer and I was there well before dawn and left in the dark so I gave it a good collage try!

[Rusty]

Well good luck, be sure and be on!

[luger]

Good luck to you as well!

its a damn gong show and gets worse every year. Lock up you gear if you do park you truck, ive had fuel poached there on a couple occasions.

Went last year for the first time to the area. What a frigging gong show of quads, trucks and people. Couldn't move without bumping into someone. Tunkwa Lake Resort posts a hunting report once in a while with a few deer taken all season. Pretty low ratio considering the amount of people running around.

[luger]

Thanks for the advice. I'm not new to the area but it's my first time for opening weekend. I have a few spots I would like to check out about about a hour away from 3-18 so I can always change my plans if it gets busy

The area gets insane during October, and the critters adjust accordingly.
I'm more concerned with the guys being jacka$$ around.

Out of interest, an area that is busy like this, I imagine the majority of the crowd sticks pretty close to the roads? How far do you have to hike (generally) to get away from the crowds?

[250 sav]

area is crazy but if you hike paralell to the roads a few 100 meters back you will see critters

[mr eagle]

In spite of all the road hunters there are still a lot of deer.

As 250 mentioned get off the road to see animals. Worth packing a whitetail tag too.

[kamloopshunter25]

Took a nice 4pt the other day, during october usually hike 3km in to get into some nice deer

[Coachman]

I don't mind seeing a few other people. The problem is, that when there's THAT many people, your chance of running into one of those morons that shoots at movement increases.

[walks with deer]

Where orange go hunting.... I live in kamloops and find that area always productive.
