I hate blacktails. Never hunting them again.

You just have to love these guys. They are as mysterious & elusive of an animal to harvest by far. Love em to death

for me most the early season i wont see anything big unless im in wilderness, its all about late buck for these guys

It's definitely kind of a love-hate relationship. I really do believe at times that they are inter-dimentional creatures that can just vanish. You can have all the skill and knowledge in the world but if you don't have alot of luck you're going to eat tag soup. Most people give up on ever getting one. People that harvest one most every year put in their time and earn them.

I love them, but then I don't really have anything to compare them to. Been hunting them over thirty years and have been very successful, and incredibly lucky at times. Some private land bucks and some public land bucks. Sometimes I can see a few different bucks a season and at other times the one I kill is the only one I ever saw. Sometimes it is the first couple minutes of the season and one time it was the last ten minutes of the last day of late buck. You just have to believe that you will find one. When I buy my tag in the spring I don't hope to kill a buck in the fall. Even if I don't know where I will be hunting I expect to fill my tag.

Here is one of my best blacktails. Like I said, incredibly lucky at times.
