2025 blacktail rut thread

[Wolfdog2314]

Going on day 3 of very suppressed deer activity. Saw a lot of deer and passed on smaller bucks over the weekend in the rain. Since Monday it’s been pretty dead. Bucks on trail cam still have pencil necks. The dinky yard bucks have been chasing. Need the switch to flip completely on. SW WA

This guy was all rutted up. Caught him alone last night during a wind/rain storm coming up for a bite to eat.

Nice buck! Did you weigh him?

Going to have to call him the sausage buck. He the same thickness from his ears to his rump. Holy moly. 😁
