Property has been in family for 16 or 17 years. No hunting has occurred as far as I know from in adjacent properties.

I'm heading out tomorrow to hopefully put down a good buck if I see it .. with every intention of leaving by 10am and being patient. I have a mutli season tag and plenty of other hunts to do.

My only thought was dump either of the bigger two and just focus solely on archery elk..

Either way I'm pumped

Good plan.  Blacktail are ghosts.  If you see a good one, take it.  Get it done early and move on to elk.  Pass on a buck...... the season  can disappear before your very eyes. If you don't need the meat, just have fun.   Set your goals high and live with the consequences.  If you have  a goal or a minimum size/age, and you don't find that buck, you can walk away feeling good even if you pass on that small forky early on.  Good luck!

 I live on Key Pen. Wait until Modern to use your bow. The big ones will usually show up out here 18-25th of October. Deer you have never seen on your camera will pop up with the does.
