Spend the majority of the time looking for a whitetail, possibly a mule deer. But when all else fails I can usually tag a blacktail in the late seasons just big enough for roasts, sausage and jerky.

Same here. I spend about a week chasing whitetails, but just by design of where I live, I spend the most time hunting blacktails.

I hear you there, same for me. But when I go it's with the intent of getting a Mule Buck, but who's gonna pass on a mature whitetail buck when the oppurtunity presents itself. Isn't it a blast hunting an area with both whitetail and mule deer? It just doesn't get any better if you ask me.

I'ts weird i have property in the chesaw area and when i don't tag out around there i will head over to the colville area for the late white tail hunt and the spot i usually go out there i always see nice muley bucks. It sure is frustrating having watch those big guys walk away everyday. :'(

Post by: tgomez on July 17, 2015, 10:13:33 AM: SUPERDOWN- Very true, what sucks is Mule deer is only 8 days long! That's the thing I miss about archery you get the month of September to chase them around. Oh well, atleast we get to see them and enjoy them still. :tup:

Post by: superdown on July 17, 2015, 10:27:31 AM: I miss archery also i tore a muscle shooting too much and can't do it for the time being.I quit doing modern three years ago then i did archery for a couple of years got a doe then last year i did muzzy and got a little whitetail two point with eye guards and this year i am going back to modern so i can use the recently acquired 1886 winchester 45-70 with peep sights.The one thing i think is weird is having to wear orange again. :chuckle:

Post by: JimmyHoffa on July 17, 2015, 12:12:03 PM: I do blacktail because it is close to home. I prefer the terrain for blacktail too; but really wish they weren't so nocturnal. I did see one beast muley deerzilla last year in Oregon that has me wanting to go for mules again.
