Took my boy out to try to fill his doe tag in NW. Stella/504. Heard one shot at first light. Deer were not moving at all. Bumped a bedded buck that ran into his maze of tangles. Sent the boy in to chase it. Funny as hell to hear him trying to catch up with that thing in the brush!

Does it seem that the rut is coming on already? One of the pics he stated the buck was sniffing a doe and another guy said he seen a buck with a few does. That tells me the rut is here or close, what do you guys think?I nailed this big boddied studd yesterday kreepin on a doe, He is stinky and old. I was only able to spot front bottom teeth that were pretty loose. If anyone has any other suggestions on aging a deer I would like to know.

Nice Buck! There are some very old bucks in North Bend area that never get bigger than a 2 pt, you can tell that boy is a old mature animal:yeah:
Nice old blacktail!

I agree, I have seen some great big, heavy rack, two points. They are not "that" common where I hunt, but there are usually a couple hanging around if I really go looking for them. One year I am going to have one mounted, I think they are great looking especially when they lack brow tines.

I'd like to see the old fat boy that left these tracks last night. Looks like he was following a doe and fawn in and out of 15 year-old reprod. Splayed toes, even on firm substrate, presumably from dragging all that weight around for so long.

Dropped this guy yesterday at 2pm to while my buddy was gutting his deer. It was a tough 10 foot shot.

I did that once. My buddy and I were gutting a deer and both of us looked up and saw a big two point coming straight towards us. We snuck off into the brush and just let him keep coming and when he was twenty feet away I gave him a load of 00 buck in heart/lungs.

That's what I am talking about! Big mature two-point blacktail bucks are pretty classy looking deer.
