He had it dialed in pretty good... A couple were really good bucks... He wasn't picky... Was just good at hunting and figured out an area during that time of year... I do muzzy and modern... I feel the last week of Oct 1st week of Nov is the best season to hunt for BT... It all just depends on your area...

That sounds like me...hopefully I can get a deer most years. It doesn't even need to be a buck as I can hunt any deer. I took my first one (a buck) last year barely 2 weeks into the season.

Then I spent the rest of the fall and winter jealous of all the rut hunters!!!

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence I guess

Always is... Struck out on mule deer... Passed a small spike bt in Oct modern... Missed opportunity during late modern on a nice one... And late muzzy... Would've had one if I took the spike... 35# of meat... But I wanted to keep hunting and hope for something bigger... I would've shot him the last day or so though...

I haven't ever taken a decent blacktail in September though it seems like I always see at least one booner that time of year at some point during daylight hours. So from my experience they are "killable" that time of year. I'm not a great sit in one place kind of guy either and tend to cover lots of ground and I feel like I see my fair share of deer in doing so. All that being said all of my better blacktail have been killed in rut times.
