The (blacktail) rut is on!

[Craig]

Hope something happens soon. I haven't even seen a single doe this year. And I have a doe tag. Running out of time. 6 hours watching cuts and classing today so far.

I have 2 canyons I hunt.....one canyon there's bucks every time I go there and the other has tons of does and not the bucks I usually see...but I've seen well over 150 deer and 11 bucks....lots of repeat deer but I'm seeing them all the time

Need a hunting partner?     My luck has been pretty bad this year, only have seen a few does and one tiny spike     Guess I need some new areas

Scouting guys...lots of it....its taken me 10 yrs to figure these deer out....glass glass glass...most people over look a lot of deer in cuts...I've found deer more times than I can count in cuts guys just left. Patience watching the 4-5 yr old cuts does wonders

This is what I'm watching right now....hard to see and if you don't glass much you would never see her...some of you might not see her in the pic

I've got bt's down pretty good in my neck of the woods. Been noticing a few smaller bucks sniffing around but the mature/dominant bucks aren't there yet. I'm hoping within the next week I have camera pics if some nice bucks.

Base of the right tree, just below the blue tape knot on the left?

Today no fog, 2 nice bucks again this time 554 yards at dawn and started chasing a doe around by 8:30. By the end of today 4 bucks 5 does. We are only about 1000' up. Going to our normal rut area at  about 3900' the deer are a lot closer, most of the time.

Rattled up a BIG 2X3 that came in hot and all swollen up but the daughter decided to pass.     She wants something bigger.  She is too much like her Dad.  I think that I have created a hunting monster!

Rattling works as well as the primos can I have called in 3 Bt bucks with the can I will be using mine in the morning. Good Luck.

The bottom little branch coming off of the right tree is pointing to the deer ....u can see the side of its face

[X-Force]

Unimpressed...... You should be at 6000' hunting the high country blacktail..... Even if you do have work, thats no excuse

I have to agree

I have also had good luck with the Pimos "can"
While I rattle my daughter works the "can" and the grunt tube.  Sometimes she does the rattling.  She has had a set of rattling antlers and has known how to use them since she was 2 years old.  Sunday, I might just sit back and spot for her while she does all of her own calling.

I want to see a real pic.
