Xforce if your family doesn't jump on one of those 120 bucks I will, lol.

Me too 

Whats up with all the new moderators??

I,ve seen that buck down at Pt. D as well. Last year anyway....Pretty nice deer down there and not afraid of people either.

Bucks are definitely rutting.  Brother just called me from (secret spot)  He had a doe and a 5x5 blackie in full rut blow right across in front of him on the road.  He bailed out but lost them in the brush.  He said that bucks neck was big around as his shoulders.  He said it was the 2nd biggest blacktail he had ever seen.

Little bucks been pushing does in my yard lately. They won't come into my yard untill the pre rut or rut starts [scared of my dogs]. They don't chase the deer but they do make them nervous when they bark.

its the same every year

Saw the same doe last night at dusk and this morning around 8:30.  She was with her yearling fawn last night and alone this morning, same spot.  I waited a while for a buck to show up but that didn't happen.  Seeing lots of new rubs just about everywhere there is an "edge".

How long with the rut last? Late buck in western washington doesn't start until Nov 13th. Will it be over by then?

[bigbeamhunter]

i have found they start going through the actions about now and really get going around the the first week of november through the month depending where they are

[klikboom]

Man i sure hope they are moving this weekend, last weekend of the regular westside, and  still sunny  so hopefully less moonlight and rut willl lead to a dead buck of my own (praying hard)

We shall see if the bucks are real or a figment of my imagenation.  Ill be heading home next weekend and I'm hoping to get away from the girlfriend long enough to chase them around. if i can ill take a pic or two..

My excitement for Monday has just gone up! Wish I didn't have other stuff going on over the weekend.

What kind of altitude are we talking about?  I'll be up in the hills this weekend.  I've got an elk tag and a deer tag I'd like to fill.  My spots all picked out, saw some great rubs last weekend, but no animals.  Hoping they haven't come of the mountain yet.  Thoughts?

Less then 2000 ft. for the big buck my bro saw this morning.

[EMPyre]

Well I'll be above that...
2600-4800 is the zone I'll be working.  Guess maybe I shold work the 'low road' a bit first.

Do you think you can rattle some blacktails in on the late modern firearm season?...
