BH45 Late archery season ...SEASON OVER ....

[BOWHUNTER45]

Well I have been seriously hunting hard ....The 1st 2 days I seen 9 doe .. I have seriously covered some timber ...Deer are not showing themselves out in the clear cuts ...that I know ...So today I hike down this ridge of cedars and I am just moving slow and just hanging out ...I know the deer are here So I need to be patient ...It is raining cats and dogs but I am dry ...after about an hour or so I kept hearing something above be ..but its raining so hard I started to think it was the rain beating off the leaves ...So after a liitle while I decide to work my way back up the ridge ...and I see this 

[BOWHUNTER45]

It is now about 11am and I am soaked ...so now I am all peeesed at myself for not slipping up on the noise I was hearing ...I ready to head home then after seeing this I had to keep going ....I ease up the deer trail about a half hour later I walk up on a huge doe ...I stand there hoping he is with her but never saw him ..I keep heading up the ridge and I am now about 4 miles from my truck ..heavy timber and no road above me ...I keep following this well beat deer trail to this deer living room ...My heart is beating because I am thinking any minute now and I am going to see him ...I keep easing up slowly ...soaked to my butt ..and I look up ahead and find this >>>>

This is a huge Blaktail ....see how shredded  this alder is ? that's from his eye guards    You will not find things like this by driving around in a truck    I just told myself I will hunt this deer to the end ....If its going to be tag soap for old BH then so be it ...but this boy has got me fired up ... TO BE CONCLUDED ...

I would get some trail cams and apples out there to find out just how big he is. Those are some solid rubs. It sounds like you are into a lot of deer.

Well at least you can take a bath with tag soap in all that rain we are having! 

[3nails]

 Yeah, I think I'd be putting up a cam also. Hope you get him!

[BOWHUNTER45]

The rain has made it sweet for sneaking around but man a guy gets wet  I hunted pretty dang hard today ...can not say I did not give it my best ....I wish I would have found this a day or 2 sooner ...I have to work this week and it is going to kill me ..but I will be hard at it again in the morning ...now I have all my stuff dried out .. I could have killed some of the biggest does I have seen in awhile ...But I let them live for now ...after seeing this I have to try and stick him ....Seen most of the deer after 11am ...its always that way for me come late season ...have not seen 1 hunter anywhere ...its like the whole unit belongs to me ...  I love bowhunting

Well I hung there while trees were falling ...peeeeesing like a dog and seen nothing ....I sat on his rub line until 11:15 .... I am sure he is coming by there in the dark ....but I was hoping I could catch him heading back up to his bedding area ....Today is the 1st day I have not seen a deer  Perfect weather too ... I need to rest my ankle for a day or 2 ...its hurts

i was after a buck with very big rubs,had cameras on his rub line since about oct 25th.they have been done rutting since like the 13th or 14th here.no sign of him around his rub line since like the 10th, good luck. he should a nice buck.and if you don't get him,he will rut in the same area next year,you'll have him figured out by then.

Yes your right ...my wife killed a rutting buck at the end of October ...I am hunting up higher now ...these bucks rut a little later than low land bucks ...You can clearly see how fresh the horning is ...The 1st rub was made after I had passed threw the area  So I headed up hill to find the others ...you can clearly tell these rubs are fresh from the white shavings hanging from the tree ....I have to work now but I will hit it again hopefully around Thursday ....Only have until the 8th to whack him

No...Up North !

[The scout]

hopfully you get him,so you don't have to loose sleep over those rubs for the next year.i got some evercalm put it on his rub line and he made a scrape and another rub right underneith the scent wicks.had my camera on video mode,but the batteries were to low for the infered flash to work so all i got was sound of him tearing the place up,but the stuff works
