Nice buck Band! Any details? When where how?Klickitat area in 1999. Turned out to be my "magical" hunting season where I scored a huge muley and a spike elk (in Wyoming), and this blacktail in the space of 12 days.

shot lots of blacktails
mostly spikes or 2 pts
heres my best "local" hood canal buck
bumped him out of his bed in a heavily hunted section of state land
sad
he lived in an area you'd never expect ,as I had seen a spike the night before and was after that

No Problem, figured you might let slip the county since I didn't ask you for the road, canyon or GPS co-ords, but no worry :) Thanks, and good luck to you, hope you nail a big one!

I rifle hunt so not unfortunate for me! Where do you usually find them?2 or 3 year old clear cuts are the best but I hunt timber too ..Not many hunt timber because most guys like to see them in the open ..If I hunt timber I usually like hunting Big timber with Alder ..That's where they usually hang out ..My biggest one came out of the same year clear cut but that hardly happens ...for me anyway !

Never seen one this swelled this early :yike:

So let's keep this one going! I dream about these bucks all year I'm definitely addicted. I can find them on camera and find some good spots but haven't been able to run into them in the woods yet. Keep them coming! BH I love the timber and have had my closest chances in it.

We scouted the area for two days, saw trails and poop everywhere, so this made for day three.
I setup along these clear cuts that bordered a swamp. Specifically, I setup in a bottleneck that connected two large clear cuts, bottlenecked between the swamp and a road. Hence the 38 yard boom.
Figured if they were moving through, then they would come through this bottleneck and avoid the road/open area.
I heard some swoosh swoosh through the ferns, saw 4-5 does and this guy in the hauling tail through the cut. They went behind a log, out of sight, dashed under the log and came out in plain view. The does came out first, so I setup my gun and waited. Soon as the buck came out I let out a "maaaa" and he stopped and looked right at me, broadside.
Boom! Dropped right there. Boned out 70-80 lbs of meat.

Halo you have some dandies! What's your poison?I just try to be out hunting when the time and weather are right the deer are active and be where they are at the time. Glass the edges of clearcuts in the morning and evening, hunt the timber when its rainy & windy, cover ground checking a lot of little out of the way spots that get overlooked by other hunters. When I'm in an area that is hunted heavily I try to go at it different than the masses, approach it differently and not go glass from the same stump every other hunter has every day for the last several seasons and not sit on the stump with the butt imprint in it. I like to keep an eye on the semi-tame yard deer around and see what they are doing at any given time to try to predict what the majority of the deer may be doing. but mostly just stick with it.
Post by: wooltie on October 16, 2014, 06:46:28 AM
But I will say that if there are animals in the area, you will see sign.
I locate clear cuts first, drainages/draws/creeks second, and scout those areas first. If the area is solid timber, then I'll look for the creeks, benches, steep areas. I try to begin scouting based upon changes in the land contours. Then get out, check it out. If I see sign in this area, but not that area, I ask "why?". For example, hunted a permit only elk unit a month ago for bear, and shared the space with two elk herds. Elk sign was everywhere. Noticed that every freaking creek/drainage had an elk trail going through it. Why? Who knows, but I'll remember that time I'm elk hunting...
If I don't see trails and poop, then I move to a different area. Blacktail can be anywhere, but they won't be EVERYWHERE, is my thinking. So I keep moving until I see sign. I used to wonder "where to begin?", but now I'll go out anywhere--cause there are deer all over place--but you will run into areas void of any sign at all. Such was my experience opening day. Combed through timber for hours but saw nothing.
Many successful people on this forum say that for blacktail, you have to look close and move slow [through the timber] and forget those huge, practically non-existent hundred yard open areas that you see on TV and on the east side. So I creep through the woods with a light, short rifle, and a 3 pt sling which comes in handy, looking for that short shot.

Minutes before dark about 20 degrees, 5 inches of snow and a mile and a half in from the main road, he was following some does through a thick clear cut, he switched trails started headin straight towards me but I couldn't see him all that well, didn't want to gut shoot him so I thought I see how far he was gonna head at me till I got a chance. well he trotted his way 6 feet in front of me, popped his head around this small fir and stopped dead in his tracks, he went down. Most exciting hunt I've had and I'm sure it will be hard to beat.nice :tup:

If you want any company this winter let me know. I would love to go out with somebody that knows what they are doing calling before I invest in a FoxPro or something like that myself. I live in Poulsbo so Shelton isn't that far for me, who knows, maybe between us we can drop a couple of them buggers!

Turner that head mount is sweet. I have looked at your albums and you have lots of good bucks. Whats your tactics?I really don't have any special tactics to add, that haven't been said by some of the other guys. I think the one thing that I'm pretty good at, is "patience". I love hunting blacktails. So it's not that hard for me to pass on smaller bucks. I could tag out pretty quick, if I really wanted to, but then the season would be over sooner. I rarely see the mature bucks until the last week of October. I try to take that week off every year.
I try to get out at least 3 miles from the pavement. Where I live, that usually means about 1-2 miles of very steep riding, or pushing my mountain bike. I start putting cameras out 1st part of july. I don't check them for at least a month, usually when I'm out bear hunting in August. I'm mainly scouting for deer while bear hunting. Once I find the spots I want to hunt, I usually don't go anywhere else. I try to figure out all the main trails they use, and all the beds they have. I hunt all ages of clear cuts also. Early in the morning brand new cuts that have a lot of very young green plants are very good. especially this last week of October. That's where the does are eating at night, and the bucks will be there also. That's where I shot the 2011 buck. Most the time I'm on a 3-5 year old cut. They will actually stay in that all day, if your not detected.
When I go out, depending on what kind of spot I'm hunting, I try to be there an hour before daylight, or better. Some spots you have to wait till you can see, because I'd be spooking them out in the dark without ever seeing them. I usually use a tree stand for the flat areas. Once I get into my tree stand, or high point over the clear cut, I start glassing until I find a doe. Once I've done that I feel like I have my eyes focused for seeing deer. (Same tactic I use for morel mushrooms. Once I find one they all start appearing :chuckle: )Then I watch the does. Most of the time they will let you know if there's a buck around. If I have deer to watch, I'll do that all day long until it's dark again. That's where my "PATIENCE" comes in handy. Eventually, on the last week "especially", bucks will sniff around the does. The closer you get to Halloween the better it gets.
Last year I didn't get anything, I was fogged in most of the time..... It's been a long 2 years :chuckle:
I can't really think of anything else right now. Good luck!

Got this guy today after I jumped him. He boiled off into the bottom of the draw and I got up and around and snuck in on him hunkered down hiding, waiting for me to leave. I waited a couple minutes for him to move out from behind a some brush and when he did, I let him have it. Pretty cool hunt.. Small world dude, talked to you up k-creek on your bike last week recognized the Simms hat. Congrats on the buck

Got this guy on the 25th during the storm. Was definitely not expecting a two point when I got up to him but still very happy. Go figure I could have shot a giant the day after I was tagged out :bash:
That's exactly what I did. Last bit of light my buddy and I saw a white faced buck and had a good frame, looked like a good one so I took him... Walked up to a two point real similar to yours but no eye guard. Rolled the dice and struck out!

Hardly a strike out that's a heck of a nice buck! Big 2 s are cool.... Any pics?

Ya its hard to pass on a buck with a frame like his and a big swelled neck at last light in a monsoon. Not the wall mounter I wanted but I'm using his cape to mount my grandpas set of 135" horns with so it worked out good. I love this thread :tup: great bucks guys. chad post up a pic of yours.Got this guy on the 25th during the storm. Was definitely not expecting a two point when I got up to him but still very happy.
