Blacktail bucks down
« on: October 27, 2020, 05:23:00 PM »
My dad and I managed to punch our tags this weekend.  Had my buck on camera earlier in the year and he was my target buck.  Found him on Saturday evening, while doing a quick hunt with my family. feeding down a grass road.  He saw us at the same time and jumped in to the brush about 30 yards away from me.  I snuck up to where he left the road and saw him about 20 yards in the brush, was able to get a neck shot and put him down.  Stinky, but not too swollen.  This was the first buck I was able to get with my kids and is a memory I won't forget.  He's also my best buck to date.  My dads buck was on Sunday morning.  We were sitting in a cut watching 6 does feed below us when his buck stepped out of the jack firs and started lip curling and smelling the air.  Same story with his buck, smelly but not too swollen.  It was a great weekend! 
If you dont do it this year, you'll be one year older when you do!
