Early archery season for me.  I like to catch them while they're still in their summer patterns

I passed up smaller bucks in both this year, but i honestly feel like more mature BT's are killed in the 4 days of late buck than the earlier season. That's usually when my phone starts blowing up with masher blacktail forwards.

The last 4 days of the regular season are my favorite.  Weather is usually better and I have shot some of my best bucks on Halloween.

I prefer the last 3 or 4 days of the regular season.

A question I have: why do people call the late blacktail season "late buck"?

October 30 and 31 seem to be the most productive days for me over the years.

Since the late modern  season in this part of the state is by permit only, I had to vote regular season.

"Late Buck" how ever you call it, is my favorite.
