Post by: Turner89 on June 21, 2025, 07:32:13 AM: I would get out there and find a spot with some big second growth with bordering steep clear cuts nearby. Put some cameras up and try to find an area with some does.
Also, If/when I get this tag I would take the last week of October and first week of November off. Those 2 weeks in my opinion are the best chance at a big Blacktail. :twocents:
I hope you both get a stud. :tup:

This .is perfect advice.the bad weather is key during the last 2 days especially Halloween is perfect. But for your late tag you've got more time.
