Blacktails??

[Old Man Yager]

Anybody kill any Blacktails during late buck? Haven't seen any posts yet?

Took a 2x2 thur at 11:00 am,  rubbing on some scotchbroom.

[Southpole]

I went out 3 days out of the 6 for my 437 late Sauk permit. 2 of the days were too dangerous to be out due to the wind storms. I didn't see a thing. I probably covered at least 50 log units... pretty frustrating not seeing any living creature 

[CementFinisher]

took a 2x2 on Friday. The deer were moving in the weather between beds.

[Harbor_hunter]

Shot a 2 pt on Saturday morning. 

[Wingin it]

Shot a spike Saturday

[bankwalker]

Shot a pretty good sized body spike with 1/2" spikes sunday.
Lots of deer seen this late season which I did not expect with the weather. I hunted the steepest hills I could find with 4 to 10 year old reprod. Deer were bedded down throughout every hillside I glassed. And moving around feeding all day on this hills. Seen 40+ deer

Bankwalker might wanna think about removing your post about 1/2" spikes.  WA state law says all points must be at least an inch long.

[kball4]

Never mind that's kind of confusing how it says at least 1 inch but says any visible antlers for any buck.

[jjaba]

went out 3 out of 4 days only saw doe and fawn.  no shots heard either.

[birddogdad]

what do you call this one? 2x3? 3x4? 3x5?

[bobcat]

Looks like a 2x4 to me, if I'm seeing all the points.

I agree BC, that is what I would call it however, the exercise here is toward those eye guards. people can count to allow this to be called a legal 3 on that 2 side (in this state if). I read the gen deer  "A legal deer taken in these GMUs must have at least 3 antler points on one side. A 3x3, 3x2, or
3x1 are legal in a 3 pt. min. unit. Antler points must be at least one inch long measured from the longest side, including eye guards."

[bobcat]

Counting eyeguards for legality purposes, I'd say 2x5.

Passed on a goofy 3 point and a ton of spikes in Vail during late rifle.  Most of the deer were right smack in the middle of the day.  Pointed out a spike for a couple of kids that were having a tough go of it who wound up shooting it.  It is snowing at the foot of Vail right now.  Should be good for muzzy season tomorrow!!  I plan on being up there.

shot a huge 4+4 friday hit him right behind the shoulder he jumped up hobbled down to a creek i went looking for him tracked him for over a mile lots of blood never found the deer biggest body ive ever seen on a blacktail i would say he was pushing 240 real bummer!!

[bankwalker]

Yea it throws some people off. But a spike is perfectly legal with any visible antler length.

Must have hit high and missed the lungs? 

[blacktailcody]

Shot a spike on Saturday.

[blackymaster20]

[PNWheckle]

Nice buck, congratulations!

Thanks!, got him up in capitol forest. I guess he thought the modern season was over and came out of hiding.

[deerhunter_98520]

I got screwed out of this buck...watched him for over an hour waiting for a clean shot and someone else spooked him and decided to throw some lead his way 

(My buddy took the pic through the spotter while I closed the distance)

Sounds like you hit high to me. sorry man. Next time.

[Tom Tamer]

Got a 3 point Friday of Late Rifle. Nothing moving so down through the junk I go and flush them out. Works like a charm more often than not.

[kodiak 907]

The nice weather saved a lot of bucks this weekend.

[PolarBear]

Yesterday afternoon my daughter and I cut some monster tracks in the snow, followed them for about a mile before we caught up with a really nice 4X5 then after another mile of cat and mouse through the brush and timber he gave us the slip by jumping a creek that was far too swollen for us to cross.     Wound up getting back to the rig about an hour after dark.  He seemed to be on a mission to head towards a lower elevation. 

[Sitka_Blacktail]

A trashy fork. Nice one too.

He'll be bigger next year Tom. Then you'll be glad you didn't get him this year.

[deerhunter_98520]

Yeah he should be real nice next year...maybe he will be the big 3 I've been wanting

[sled]

I've got 2 days in 407 for late muzzy.  Not a deer spotted yet.

Depending on caliber you should be within 1.5-2 of point of aim.

[blackymaster20]
