What’s your Go To sunny weather blacktail tactic ??

[Tbob]

So what’s your go-to blacktail tactic in this nice stretch of weather for the last week of modern rifle? You’ve got sun up to sun down out in the blacktail woods, how are you hunting it?

Find big steep reprod to glass Into. If I can get within 700 yards im a happy camper!

Find a small patch of grass in the reprod, be still and quiet while waiting until the sun is getting low enough to start casting some good shadows.

Yikes, I’m gonna have to knock off about 400 yards of that.. lol..

Haven’t blacktail hunted in a lot of years. But if it was sunny I didn’t even bother.

I typically like to get in and hunt the timber, but didn't have much luck today. Didn't see a single deer this morning.

Climb up in one of my tree stands in a thick brushed core area and hope today is the day. I’ve  harvested more bucks in nice weather than nasty weather. Can usually hear them coming too. This is my favorite week of the season, good or bad weather.

Find them sun tanning

Hunt em at the butt crack of dawn and the last 1/2 hour of legal shooting light.

The pre ruts starting to pick up....there movin all day...seen 5 bucks today, don't go in at lunch

I'd be sitting 1st hour after daylight and an hour before dark and probably still hunting to try and jump a buck during the rest of the day.  The rain and wind helps us be quiet but you may just have to go even slower than the 3 steps and glass drill.  If I could find a clear cut that I could watch an opposite hillside and it had good cover, I may sit there all day depending on the sign and deer I've possibly seen there before.

Lastly, if I happen to have found a rub line this season, I would be sitting with the wind in my face watching it from daylight until dark.  Eventually, he's gonna show up during daylight.

I'm not sure there is a right answer, but I'll be glassing reprod Mon - Thurs.

This is all great advice. So I think I’ll watch the clearcuts the first hour or two ready to pounce. If nothing pops out by 10:00 am I think I’ll still hunt either the timber or some reprod in hopes of a close encounter. I’ve got 4 days to hunt sun up till sun down this week.  I’m determined!

I’d suggest sitting and binocing till eleven, harvested and have seen a lot of mature bucks between 10-11.

11-2 is golden, does get up to feed from the morning nap and the bucks follow    to
