Ive had it...STILL have yet to see one buck

[Kc_Kracker]

I have had enough of this nocturnal crap, I have beat the brush hard, followed every game trail through Greenwater and other areas, hoping to spook one out of its bed, been there at 530 am, sat all day hoping one would come by, sat til after dark, and have yet to even see one buck, not a single antler, haven't even seen a doe since like day 4 of modern season  Im sick of this crap time to go where deer can be found during the day

So where on the east side is some decent public ground?

[Russ McDonald]

The problem with that is the season is done for deer on the eastside except for 4 zones which tomorrow is the last day there.

[Huntbear]

Good luck with that idea.. we had 7 legal bucks scouted before the season..  we ate our tags...

Greenwater sucks for deer, and blacktail are the hardest deer to hunt in the world (at least the big one's are). This weekend the rut will heat up, I think it will be good but Monday thru Wed should be really good. Welcome to blacktail, they suck ass when you are looking for a big one. If you want any buck, go to vail or try wilkeson. It's hunting, not killing so dont give up.

I hope the rut/pre-rut turns on soon.  I saw a doe still nursing a fawn this afternoon.  Would think they'd had kicked the fawns this close to magic time.

I saw 5 bucks today. 3 were eating together at noon.

Keep at it and you will find one. These last couple of days I have seen more deer movement than I have in months. I have watched three very nice blacktail bucks out in the middle of the day this week. They all appeared to be in rut and dumb as a rock. Good luck to ya!!!

my money is that they see you and smell you and you never see them,,,,,,,

Had a nice 3 point walk across the parking lot at work.
Come on up.

My son saw a nice 2 point day before yesterday.  Following a doe right out across an open field.  Didn't even look at him.  Late afternoon.  It's starting to happen.   Don't get frustrated.  Keep at it.  The last 4 days of the general season are always good.  Weather is supposed to be raining.  Good things will happen.

The force is weak with this one! Westside BT bucks are the most elusive of all big game animals to hunt. Suffering and disappointment in pursuit of one are the norm.

KC, PM sent

Don't feel bad, I took my daughter out tonight and we didn't see anything.  We'll be back at it again tomorrow night.  This is her third year and hasn't gotten one yet.  The last two years I took her out east and my old stompin grounds had turned into pumpkin patches.  I really hope we can get her one since she's been a trooper.

Sounds like you need to get higher up.  That's my answer for whenever I can't find deer around 

Not sure if it works yet but I always get a good hike.

Stick with it.  Look for areas with lots of tracks, clearcuts, trails crossing roads etc.  Once you find that hunt the thickest ridges around it.  Keep an eye out for does, it is getting close to time.  Until they start really moving well you have to find them in there bedrooms.  Work slow use your bino's.
