Quote from: STIKNSTRINGBOW on October 22, 2013, 03:25:12 PMA 1996 study by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife showed just how nocturnal mature blacktail bucks are. As part of the pre-rut study, cameras were placed along six fall migration trails, from high up in the Cascade Range to the deers' low-elevation winter range. Triggered by an infrared beam of light when an animal walked past, the cameras registered the date and time each photograph was taken. The results were eye-opening: Of the 606 deer photographed, 87 percent of the bucks traveled at night, while only 56 percent of the does and fawns traveled after dark. Also of note: 42 percent of the bucks photographed were 4 by 4s or better. Sounds about right ...Until next week

I see him by the transfer station all of the time. He knows where the safe zone is no, just north of PACAR. i have not seen the one horned brute yet.I have 5 acres just north of PACAR. 2 nights ago I had 3 different bucks on my cam in a 2 hr period. One looks like it might be a shooter. Of course his was the worst picture of the bunch.Dude you need to start feeding those poor creatures so they become tastier? You ever see the big ones?

On a sidenote, the elk finally started arriving yesterday. We saw 5 cows and a monster 5x5. I have been getting concerned because they usually arrive earlier.I looked in the regs to see if there was a season for archery in the 550 so I could give some of you a shot at them but it is closed for late season I hunt modern and I doubt the big herds will be in my fields until after the season ends, story of my life.
