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.

Same story here. Rubs popping up. No deers moving yet. The switch will flip soon.

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.

It's just getting started...but normal timing from year's past..pre rut activity .. wandering a little... rubs popping up.. another 7-8 days it should be really good.

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.
