October blacktails

[operatorkain]

Hey folks, new to the board and fairly new to hunting. I hope you don't mind my asking here, but I have never heard the term "reprod" before and was wondering if someone could define it for me. Google has failed me!

[Jharristealth]

correct me if im wrong here, but the term is short for reproduction timber areas... ie clearcuts with young trees that have just been planted.

This is the way I explain different stages of growth, clearcut, jackfurs, reprod, timber, and of coarse old growth.  Reprod is about 15 to 20 ft trees with lots of low to the grindy branches, but not much vegetation on the ground in them because the sun can no longer reach it.  I could be wrong, just the way my old man taught me and he's worked for weco for 40+ years.  Started driving truck, then falling, now he's part of the only crew that still builds road that's employed by Weco on the st. Helens tree, he just finished up doing the ditch work on the 4100.

Ok, this wasn't an October buck, I drilled this guy in September 2009 on a blue bird day in the last minutes of daylight.  He weighed in at 189lbs before we dressed him out. 

Since I was told to post it....

I was wondering what happened to that buck. Last time I saw him was by tank 320.

Thanks for the explanations, guys. Cheers!

I wish!  That buck was pretty big a couple years ago!  I haven't seen him this year, he's gotta be a beast by now.  I think I'll do some stalking by the fence line...

Man there sure is quite a few good bucks on here! I am getting so excited!

I love this thread!!! Most of the blacktails I've killed have been during stormy weather and hard rain...

Saw a nice spike following a couple does on exit 252 in Bellingham this afternoon he'll be safe could not believe it

There's a few deer that hang around that area.  In fact, there's gobs of deer that live in the 'ham.  I know a couple neighborhoods that have Booner bucks living in them.  I pretty sure if the deer inside the city limits don't get hit by a car, or poached, they're dying from old age.
