Looks awesome! I'm starting to get pumped up for these blackies! I'm heading in to my new found honey hole tomorrow morning to find one of these studs!

I lived adjacent to 3,000 acres of timber land around McKenna, WA (by Yelm) for 14 years. I sat in tree stands for seven years, shed hunted for five, rattled in bucks for pictures when I wasn't hunting them and only ever saw on blacktail that was bigger than this. Here you've got two in the same frame. I'd say it's a honey hole.

I'm hunting timber land so I know there can be other hunters there, I've even gotten a couple on my cam. I just don't understand why someone would feel the need to steal a trail cam. I had it up on a dead snag bolted on with a bike lock. They pushed over the snag and pulled the whole camera off. :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:
Hopefully I'll be hunting in there later this season and those guys will come in so I can give them a piece of my mind.
No deer this morning by the way...

I might go out tonight in search of some mushrooms and fresh rubs if I can get off work early enough.

Went out to my spot this morning. Some b*stard stole my frick'n trail camera! :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:I finally saw one the other day ...we waved and moved on ...but one thing I know I would do different is put them off the beaten path ...If there is a beaten trail or grade most likely someone is going to walk up it sooner or later ...I would put mine in the brush where the game is coming from ... :twocents: I think trailcams are cool and I think next year I will have to get me a couple :tup:

Ted lays his 25-06 across a cedar stump and BOOOM .. He drops right in his tracks
Well duh! That's what the .25-06 does :IBCOOL:
A seriously under-utilized caliber in my opinion, I think it's one of the best all purpose calibers. Deer, elk, black bear. A good Washington gun.
Congrats to your boy and good luck with late archery.

Things are for sure picking up as far as Blacktail hunting goes and next week should be just perfect ...Seems the deer are moving good around mid day and if you do not see many early in the morning I would change your tactics a little .. You definately want to be hunting between 11am and 2pm ..Not saying stay home in the morning or late evening because you never know when you will see deer but from experience and being a hardcore blacktail hunter I would spend more time searching mid day ...Cover alot of ground and try getting above the clearcut that have fire weed in them and glass till your eyes bug out ..I always concentrate on finding old cedar stumps and cedar saw dust piles where the deer will be laying . glassing every one I can see looking for that grey face stirring at me ..Thats why I love Blacktail hunting it takes a good eye and lots of patients :tup:This is a good post, I was surprised to see most deer activity this weekend during mid-day.

With a body like that, was there a thick layer of fat on him when you skinned him out? He doesn't look to rutted up. Did he smell like a rutting buck?He had layers of fat and all the deer I have seen shot so far were the same way ...He was definately getting ready for the rut ...and he was not stinky yet but his scent glads on the hind legs were very dark ...They should be rutting hard any day now So get out there and find one ....As we all know the last week in October is the best time to find these big mature Blacktail :tup:
