That's a tough call... some years end of regular season and some years late buck... I can tell you one thing for certain, sadly elk season is the best for big BT buck sightings

Late buck vs Regular season For Blacktail?

I haven't been able to ever truly hunt late buck, I can't stop myself from shooting a buck during general. I have went out with some friends for late buck and hardly ever see anything. This year they hammered them during late buck, and lots of good ones. Had me wishing I had a little better self control on the trigger finger. Again.

I haven't needed to hunt late buck in 17 years so I kind of forget what it's like. Post rut from what I remember up here.

Halloween.  Problem is,  sometimes it's a bit of a scramble to get the buck out of the woods and get home in time to Trick-or Treat with the kids.

I think the last three or four days of October could only be rivaled by the first week of November. But we'll never know.

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"?

I suspect the term started back when there used to be a "doe day"; then people started calling those last 4 days "late buck" to distinguish that late deer one day season when you could kill does.  :dunno:
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.
