Any sign blacktails are in love yet? I have yet to see a rub or a buck for that matter.

A lot of tree rubs where I hunt, but haven’t seen anything to shoot yet.

It’s just windy here on whidbey island. Rain is supposed to start tomorrow. I’m no BT expert, but from what I know Bt’s like rain for some reason and it might get em moving. It’s any deer here, so a doe will do if that’s what I’m presented. I have till Sunday, so here’s to hoping.

If I could only hunt BT one day a year, for the rest of my life, it would be Oct. 23.

Mine would be the 31st. I never miss the last 4 days of the season. I've taken more big Blacktails in this window than the rest combined.
