Just kidding brother, hard to harvest a blacktail if we are putting all our time in whitetail country.

i have seen some bruisers in the coweeman as well as the toutle (only areas i have hunted) while hunting for elk. i think most of the areas have good bucks in the deep dark hell holes. there is a lot of thick country over there where nobody wants to go!!!!!
i accidently passed a nice (110" 4x4 with eye guards) because i thought he was just a spike. i was only seeing his eye guards. another guy killed him

257 hit the nail on the head. If you want to kill a blacktail be in the woods from the 28 - 31. I'll take those four days over the four days in november anytime.
your crazy :chuckle:, nov is where its at. i'd say hit some national forest or wilderness, lots of areas in the stormking unit that are closed off but you can still walk in
if your lucky you could come out with one of these

Google the Gold Bar Buck. There are good genes out there.

A lot less people in oct. than nov. and the bucks are just starting to rut. My absolute favorite time to hunt blacktails. If the weather is bad, it makes it that much better. And another thing that makes it better is when the 28th falls on a monday or tuesday. You will have the woods to yourself.

I think he said he is a bow hunter.
You can still bow hunt with a rifle tag.

That buck was actually not a blacktail. The guy ended up getting in quite a bit of trouble. He was buying them on E-bay and cutting the skull plates out of smaller deer and slipping in the new skullplate and then taking pictures. He sold them to a guy in Colorado and another guy in Cali. I think. Neither one ever got the antlers and they were proven not to be a BT. There are no deer at all off of Hwy 2, they have all been hit by cars or killed by wolves and cougars! :chuckle:
