Game around Princeton

[hairy spotter]

just wondering if anyone would be willing to share some decent spots to find game around Princeton. I will be going somewhere in that area in a couple of weekends, looking for mule deer, whitetails, pheasant and sharp tailed grouse. Thanks for any tips!

I find it usually takes a good 3 days to find some decent hunting ground, for deer anyways. Where abouts are you camping/hunting?

Not 100% sure just yet, but I have been scouting the hills to the south, the country there is a bit more open,
so that is the plan for now. But I am more than happy to take a suggestion.

As you go downhill at the steep hill at the mine, just before Princeton, there is a busy deer crossing, just before the sharp turn towards the mine entrance. Mulies feed and bed down, year round, on the man made hills on the mine property, which are off limits for hunting. However, across the road, indside the forrest, there have to be a well used deer trail, which could be worth watching ? Deer have often collided with cars in that area. A deer collision with a bullet would be more useful :)

Hit the mountains. Pick the highest and climb to the top.


That's what I'd do....

Spent the last few days a "little" west of there...... the temps were high, the bugs were the worst I have seen them..... each night we had a thunder and lightning show..... the animals were the spookiest I have ever seen them, saw half of what I usually see.......

Son was out the other day scouting for bear up the Similkameen, didn't see much but got the crap scared out of him by the nearness of the lightning strikes. He called one into Forestry as it was smouldering.
He did, however bag a squirrel for dinner. :roll:
In an hour I'm off to Tulameen for the Long Weekend and hope to do some scouting around in the surrounding hills.
