Big blacktail

[whackmaster 93]

This morning me and a buddy were hunting a new clear cut that we found and we were sitting on the edge of the timber line and a big switchback 3 point was staring at us then he bolted and disappeared like a ghost...will he come back or is he gone for good?

He isn't far.... Might not ever see him again though... Only one way to find out...

He looked like he was still in the rut think doe in heat scent would work?

Worth a try... He will go where the does go.... Could be close or miles away... I jumped a mature BT buck last year that I'd never seen before.... To glass him the next day @ 3 miles away in a cut as the crow flies... Never could get close enough for a muzzy shot...

I missed a nice buck on opening day of modern deer this year, the following weekend an identical buck was killed (not by me) about 400-500 yards from where I shot. 99% sure it was the same deer.

I say he's worth another try. Maybe come at him from a different angle/direction.
