Christmas buck?
« on: December 23, 2016, 05:39:52 PM »
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.

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.

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!

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.

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