That's a VERY nice buck Cowboy, good for you! What's wierd about this year is that most of the nice bucks that have been shot were harvested by first time blacktail hunters, meanwhile most of the veteran hunters haven't had any success at all.
Just not seeing the deer this year, last year was poor too. I blame it on the economy, people are poaching more.
Gee Billy thanks for showing a pic of my filthy shop. Oh well I was needin some motivation to clean the Damn thing up any way.
I think in Skagit county they are coming back. That hair loss, cougars and other factors had them thinned out but they are around. I think the rut has run later this year. Maybe I'm just hoping since I'll be out with my bow on the 23rd.
Alittle advice I can give is for you guys still hunting late buck is to wait until about 10am or SO and head out ...the deer will not move until then do to the freezing last night ...soon as the sun comes out the deer will be up and moving ...I am takin a buddy around 10:30 so we see what happens ...

I shot a buck on thursday and he appeared to be ruttin,but he still had all his fat still on him ,so I assume that he was just getting started.
