Title: Blacktail Decisions
Post by: Turner89 on October 07, 2012, 08:40:49 PM: I can't make up my mind witch one of these bucks I should spend modern chasing. The bigger buck is within a mile of the gate, so I figure he will go nocturnal after the opening morning rush.
The big 3 pt is about 5 miles back, but I hav'nt had a picture or seen him in awhile.
Probably waisting my time thinking about it. Seems like I always change my mind ,as i'm riding up the road. Can't wait till saturday. :rolleyes: :chuckle:

I think I'm going to get lucky. It was closed for about a week in a 1/2, but re-opened this weekend. :tup: Not Quite sure why it was closed in the first place. It has been alot drier in this particular area in past summers.

Post by: cleetus on October 07, 2012, 11:54:24 PM: Nice bucks. Either would be a good day. The second pic is the one I would pic not just because of the size but because you probably have a better shot at him and who knows the other buck might be back there too especialy if you have to hunt past opening day. Good luck either way.

Post by: jackmaster on October 08, 2012, 06:50:17 AM: i would go after the second one, it looks like old reprod that he is hiding in, might be easier to wait him out than the one in the big timber and ferns, unless it is pissn down rain then i would go after the first on, its is a little easier to sneak around in the ferns when its hammering dowen rain.... but either would do, good luck....

Yea, they have both dissapeared. I dont have a picture of any buck in the last 3 weeks. Just bears and does.
Probably wont see either till halloween week.

Way too late for this guy, do a search and you can find some of the BT bucks he's killed
