Post by: npaull on December 18, 2014, 11:31:17 AM: I'm still on the chase! Have access to a little piece of Whidbey Island where I'm hoping to get a blacktail in the last few days of the season. We'll see.

Post by: jkthomps on December 18, 2014, 11:37:51 AM: Bummer! I have been passing on doe until now. If I see one I will try to bag it. I might have held out too long though lol. My luck I won't see a deer. Probably see a ton of animals out of season but at least I will get some exercise and some great views.

Post by: Shaqdiesel on December 20, 2014, 06:16:59 PM: Been going almost every weekend, I haven't been seeing anything which makes it harder to shoot something!

Title: Re: Anyone still heading out for late archery?
Post by: jkthomps on December 23, 2014, 10:11:22 AM: I didn't even see a deer the last weekend I was out. It was nice and foggy and I kept imagining this monster buck slowly walk out of the fog but it never happened.

Post by: jkthomps on December 25, 2014, 09:05:08 PM: I am starting to wonder/doubt my spot in 407 for late season. If anyone has any late season recommendations/hint please share, I might be getting desperate lol.
Title: Re: Anyone still heading out for late archery?
Post by: elk247 on December 25, 2014, 09:34:34 PM: Jkthomps, The 407's been hot the last few days. The rain and cooler temps help. I Tagged out on X-mas eve. Stay positive and get out in the nasty weather and thick reprod.

Last night when I got home three bucks were harassing this poor little doe. On my way out the door this morning there was only one buck with her, but he was being quite the gentleman by coming up on her back for a few seconds to warm her up on this frosty morning.
