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

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

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.

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.

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
