Blacktails near the coast

[MADMAX]

Not to sidetrack this thread but do the Ocean Shores giant bucks leave town? About a mile or two outside of Ocean Shores yesterday when we were leaving after dark to drive back to Idaho I had the biggest black tail I’ve ever seen cross the highway in front of me. It was in an area that I would say looked open to hunting without looking into it.

Most of the land between OS and Hoquiam is pay to hunt land. I believe most of it is Rayonier.   There may be some Green Diamond mixed in. and last I checked that is ok to hunt. But I would make sure.

Of course it is
Seems like everything is anymore on the westside
Thank you vandals, thieves, trash dumpers and methlabs

How does that work? Do you get gate keys? Is it open to unlimited number of permits? Any idea on cost? It was a giant blacktail 😂

I’ve been getting heavy buck action recently, so if you can find a hot doe it’s gonna be rocking. I’ve seen more bucks the past few days than the entire season combined.

I have of heard of multiple bucks seen with does in the last 2 days. Rural areas from tow tuck drivers. Lowland could be good this weekend.

Well I didn't see any animals but I rarely do. Got into the snow a bit. First time I did any hunting in the snow. There wasn't much and it was all frozen and crunchy but it sure made it easier to find where the critters were moving. Found some sign up above where the snow line was so I'm thinking they're hanging out up there still. Hoping to get back out there within the week. I got down to the beach for the razor clam dig later than I wanted (fog in the timber makes time go weird) which didn't even matter because I broke my clam gun almost immediately. Still was a fantastic trip to my favorite place on the world during my favorite time of year!
