Today up setting traps in about knee high of snow I saw a nice 3x and several does it was a good surprise especially considering it was about at 11:00 am all along the river up high in the cascades and the best time to hunt blacktail is during the rain

The area I have been hunting had deer in there I've seen sign and other people have seen some nice bucks in there.  I'm working on being more passionate and sitting in one area but it just kills me like I'm missing an opportunity in another area I don't know.  There is snow up there now do I think I will stay just below the snow line and see what happens.  I think there is something big timber up high that I might try also.

The way I rationalize it is if I know there are deer that move in a certain area, I could actually be missing an opportunity by moving to another area that I'm not as experienced with. As the old saying goes, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush...

This has been my first year deer hunting, hunting blacktail, and archery hunting. What a hellish combination!

Sounds like you (Jeff) are going to be a great hunter.  You have the fundamentals down!  Looking forward to seeing some great pictures in the future!   :tup:

I'm looking forward to showing you some great pictures! I'm also looking forward to being a great hunter... maybe one day

 :yeah:   That's one to live by.  Don't leave deer to go and find deer.

If there's snow close, I'd go up into it and look for tracks and follow them till my toes froze.
