West Side Late Buck

[PLUVIUSWAPITI]

Had a beautiful day of hunting in Pacific Co. First it rained and then it rained somemore. I think we saw the ark headed down the willapa river with all the bucks on board. Seen six does all day and that was it. Trying to dry out for tommorrows hunt. Good luck to all you hunters on Friday.

Hiked up an old gated road...found a spot by a couple rubs..hubby bleated and grunted.

If he keeps that up, try maalox antacid. It has worked for me in the past.

Will be taking my son after school on Friday.  Then all day Saturday...  Should be fun no matter what the weather is...

Saw 16 today, 13 does, 3 bucks.  One 3x3, and 2 spikes.  Couldn't close the deal on the 3X3.  Tomorrow maybe.  Oh, and the rut is on!  Course my rattling and calling didn't work at all today.  I think the wind covered up all the noise.  And all deer were seen within 100 yards.

Took a nice 3X3 Thursday afternoon. Just as the weather us a break for about an hour. Will post pictures later. Need to get them off the camera.

Got soaked yet again today on my 8-mile ineffective walkabout.  Didn't see any deer, at all.  Saw lots of guys driving back and forth in their trucks.  Oh well, this year is going to end with a "squish" for me I guess.  At least my feet stayed dry (thank you, Danner).  I'm moving waterproof gloves to the very top of my Christmas list.  Congrats to all of you who were successful, and to anyone else that had fun!

After 16 years of hunting on the eastside i have decided to go after a Blacktail for the late bow season, only problem is i really have no idea were to go and picking to do this late in the game is adding some pressure.
I did go scouting up by Northbend where  i used to hunt them but who would of thought that trees grow that fast, every clear cut i knew of is now forest  .
So im looking for some pointers if anyone has any for areas in the north sound, snohomish, skagit, island counties??

[Crunchy]

I hunted Stormking this AM.  Up high I was in about 5-6 inches of snow.  Cut a couple of tracks but didnt see any deer.  Gonna try again in the AM.

Crud! As we were calling it a night, a Huge body..at least 3 point came out in fromt of us. He was limping..of course we were headed out so, I was not prepared.. I hopped out and he was already too deep in the woods for me to see him. We hiked at least 6-8miles today and saw 1 doe. Then we took a road hunting trip and get that?? Go figure!!

Rattled one in for my oldest son.
Caught it watching us from behind a jack fir. Couldn't tell if it had horns
Back at it tomorrow.

[jamng]

4 does today in the Stormking, 15 deer yesterday in another area and one nice 3x3 that I couldn't seal the deal on, he busted me before I saw him and only had a posible texas heart shot and the he was into thick brush and didn't see him again, I tried to track him hoping that he would run a bit and stop and look back but no look, in hind sight I guess I should have ran after him, maybe I would have gotten a shot, oh well it was a fun year, 1 bear and 1 6x6 bull, I can't complain, good luck to everyone tomorrow, I'm home with the twin babies tomorow so it's over for me.
