Holy smokes, this blacktail hunting is TOUGH. I've hunted Minnesota whitetails for about 15 years, and have had a good amount of success. I was thinking a lot of my whitetail knowledge/skills would transfer to blacktails, but man, I'm not seeing s*!$. I'm getting away from crowds, really only seen two other hunters, and I'm definitely putting in the time (currently unemployed- only missed two days of hunting so far). I'm in 574 and hunting an area with lots of sign, I just can't catch a glimpse of a single deer- aside from jumping one here or there. I'm sitting for 3-5 hrs each AM or PM, and still hunting mid-day. I just gotta know...am I really this terrible at hunting blacktails, or is not seeing anything a typical growing pain for first year blacktail hunters? I'm going to keep givin' er', but I'm running out of steam!!!
