For all of you hunters in Eastern Washington, or Idaho or Eastern Oregon for that matter, I know you think this a waste of time, a useless thread. It really isn't. Blacktail deer are something special, because of the thick vegetation over here. We all are very lucky to live in such a diverse region (deserts, alpine, rain forests, swamps, &c.). If you ever have a chance, please try to hunt the blacktail deer in Western Washington or Oregon someday.
You WILL be disappointed.
