Title: Timber Blacktail
Post by: nwhunter on October 20, 2009, 10:35:41 PM

Shot this buck today. I was stillhunting some higher country timber and spotted him bedded below me about a 100 yards. For a blacktail I thought he looked plenty big for me so let him have it. Of course it had to be one of the few times I have gone out without my pack and game bags since I thought I would hunt light. Took some pics and gutted him out then called my dad from the ridge top and he met me at my rig when I hiked out for my pack. Him and a friend helped bone cape and pack it out. It was a great day for it after all the rains we had on the opener. nwhunter

Nice buck, I love packin' 'em out. Seriously, a little (or a lot) of hard work really makes it worth it, and makes you feel like you earned it. I see you're from Forks. I just watched Twilight last night with my wife, you didn't see any vampires while you were out thre did you?  :chuckle:

THanks guys. Have never really seriously hunted blacktail much as I hunt the eastside and out of state but now with a boy that wants to hunt figured I better do some hunting closer to home too. He got a spike on the opener. Never been a big fan of road hunting and just glassing clearcuts so this hunt sure made it feel more like the kind of hunting I am used to. Not going to say where I was but the oly pen. has plenty of steep and deep and upper country that gets you out of the brush somewhat and no I haven't ran into any vampires out there yet but I hear they are out there! nwhunter

Your dad must be one tough S.O.B still using the old military pack frame. I bought one at a yard sale about 15 yrs ago and used it once. OUCH!!!!! I still have that damn thing somewhere. :chuckle:
