Title: Blacktail's are still rutting
Post by: coonhound on December 11, 2007, 04:35:18 PM
I took about a 10 mile walk this morning in hopes of finding a fresh set of Cougar tracks in the snow.  I didn't find any fresh Cougar sign, quite a bit of Bobcat.  What I did see were 4 different bucks chasing does like it was peak rut.  I seen 13 deer with 4 of them bucks and 2 of the 4 were very nice bucks.

The last buck I seen was the widest Blacky I have ever seen.  He was only a 3 point with small eye guards but he had to be at least 22 - 23 inches wide, it was one of those bucks where the horns never come up straight almost lay out, unlike most blacky's.  I watched that buck push this doe around for 10 minutes, I thought I was going to see him lay it to her.

If I still had a late archery tag I wouldn't waste that last few days it looks great.

(It is 12/11)

Sweet, there's nothing better than watching bucks in the rut. It does seem late though.
