Christmas buck?

[CoyoteCowboy]

Anyone ever arrowed a blacktail this late in the year? Still have a tag burning a hole in my pocket and have until Dec 31st to fill the freezer.

Right there with ya! I made it out this morning for a few hours. Found 5 does but no shot opportunities. I'll be going out again on Monday.  Good luck.

[PolarBear]

Still hunting. All I am seeing is does and little bucks. Nothing worth shooting. Waited until the last day a few years ago. Might be the case this year.

[CoyoteCowboy]

I can take 'any deer' so not going to be picky... last year I took a doe and turned the entire deer into jerky. It was incredible; amazing how good jerky can be with choice cuts. Post when something hits the dirt!

[hollymaster]

Saw a huge doe the 2nd to last day of elk season. Made me wish I hadn't tagged out on the 8" spike I got in September.

[MADMAX]

yup
same here
still hunting till the end.
no shots, most deer I see are close to houses on the way to my hunting "spots"
been running a dry spell, no shots

[fishnfur]

Last hurrah scheduled for late next week.   

[blackveltbowhunter]

Never killed on Christmas, but have taken several in the last week including a couple pope and young qualifiers. Keep with it! Good luck!

I harvested a doe on Friday (23rd).  Had tenderloins for Christmas dinner tonight.

[CoyoteCowboy]

MRT, you sure did! Congrats!

At least in Idaho you can legally pick up dead heads

Thank you!  It has been a very frustrating season. Maybe tomorrow I can weed through the spikes and does and catch something worth shooting doing something stupid.

Tribal claim ! 

[metlhead]

Real close to Idaho. Actually found in Kalama.

Kalama, Idaho?

[metlhead]

No, but thanks for noticing the banded mallard

 You do understand the implications yes?

[quadrafire]

Is that a Griffon in the boat?

[metlhead]

Implications of what? Took a photo, now the eagles can finish it. Not a griffon, GWP. Just wanted to show the OP that yes, some nice BT bucks are still cruising around, and folks are getting them. I apologize for getting a lame contrversy started. Good luck to the OP, keep at it.

[huntnphool]

Implications of what?

 It is illegal to pick up "deadheads". If you wanted a pic, you probably should have done it where it was laying and left it there.

[CoyoteCowboy]

A dead-head, banded duck and a WPG!? Now that is a nice boat!

I have a 8-mo WPG who is getting his balls chopped as we speak 

[The scout]

With the head that clean I would most deffanitely say that's not from this late season no matter what was eating on it I would say that dead head has nothing to do with blacktail still moving around

[PolarBear]

An eagle probably hauled it off to Idaho where he found it. 

[fishnfur]

Yup.  Them Blacktails ain't too big.
