2025 blacktail rut thread

[JakeLand]

All my luck must go towards elk, cause these blacktails can kiss my rear end!!  I’m seeing rubs, tracks, I’ve sat, I’ve mostly walked real slow and quiet…. Haven’t seen a deer in two days, not even a doe!  I feel like an amateur, half day left, just ate my sandwich, we’ll see.

fear not it’s Halloween, hunt till dark run and gun keep on the move glassing

Guess I need to get a cell camera, heard it’s like shooting fish in a barrel when you hunt w one of those!!!

Killed a hammer on the 19th after two days of peak rut on cell cameras. Multiple big bucks cruising, and small bucks dogging does.

If a dummy like me can tip over a decent one, then anyone can. Stay the course. Another angle to keep ya motivated

Hunted all morning looking for a doe for a 1st year hunter. Heard one shot right at daylight and not a single deer seen by us. I'm hoping this rain gets them back on their feet for the afternoon.

The close-to-town Olympia bucks are on the move big time right now.

Town bucks are cruising hard here in Corvallis, Oregon.  Saw a 3x2 buck with a doe last Sunday out in the woods- branches and brush prevented a clear shot for me.  Headed out tomorrow to see what I can find.

Yard deer are cruising

Yard buck my wife took a pic of today, he would get a pass but after just seeing 1 deer in two long, miles covered days, I kinda wanna cap his butt!!

Yeah I’m thinking he would be in grave danger on my place.🤣

This guy found a girlfriend and didn't care that I was sitting on the tractor 30 feet away!

How, on God's green earth did you hold back from not at least trying to chase him down with your tractor. That's a great blacktail

You’re not alone, except my luck didn’t go towards elk this year this comment made me feel better though, I’ve struggled this year but also have had limited time to hunt with a new baby at home! I am optimistic for late buck
