This
**FREE Seminar for Veterans & Active Duty Members** delivers proven, real-world strategies used to consistently locate and harvest mature blacktail bucks.
Cross the Divide hosts the Blacktail Trophy Tactics Hunting Seminar, led by The Blacktail Coach and BuckVentures ProStaffer Dave Riley. The seminar brings together active-duty military and veterans for a focused day of learning, connection, and practical hunting knowledge.
Dave Riley delivers a deep dive into the strategies and mindset required to pursue mature blacktail bucks in the rugged terrain of the Pacific Northwest. Drawing from years of experience in the field, he breaks down how dominant bucks use their core areas, how hunters can identify those locations, and how small details—like wind, pressure, and terrain—can make the difference between simply seeing deer and consistently encountering trophy-class animals.
Throughout the seminar, participants explore key topics including locating trophy bucks, scent management, tree stands and blinds versus spot-and-stalk methods, baiting strategies, and timing the hunt effectively.
The Blacktail Trophy Tactics Seminar reflects Cross the Divide’s commitment to providing meaningful outdoor education and opportunities for the military and veteran community.
