Blacktail down this morning
« on: October 20, 2018, 09:02:03 PM »
7am i was up top 600 ft above a large area of 10 year old reprod with a skidded road that run along the bottom of the bluff. My son missed a spike here on opening day. Glassed for two hours and all I saw was a feeding doe. At 915 7 deer come busting out of the reprod at full speed. I don't know if they were spooked or just playing but they ran around in circles leapfrogging and playing dodge about 800 yds away.  By the time I got my spotter on them they had split into two groups 4 going away and 3 heading my way down the skid rd. All three coming my way we're spikes. I ranged them at 470 and set up on a stump to wait for them to get under me at 209 yards. 45 min later they were still out at 350 and started to head for the reprod. I ranged the edge of the reprod at 370 and dialed my scope. The largest of the three stopped right at the edge and I sent one. Could see right away it was a hit he ran 30 yards into the reprod and stopped in a little opening I aimed a little high and sent another round. Bam deer down time to get to work. First deer with my 6.5 creedmoor savage lwh leupold vx3i 3.5x10 . It was awsome to get a bluebird day buck. Unfortunately after the 3 mile pack out I can hardly walk. I figure liver and onions for breakfast. My season over til modern elk. Have fun be safe and hopefully shoot something with more than one antler
