Title: Who's Excited for Late Buck!!!!
Post by: Pazn25 on November 14, 2009, 08:39:49 PM: Well I dont know about you guys, but this off weekend for me is driving me crazy. Well I managed to stay busy butchering my elk, but ready to get back into the woods. So only 5 days left until Late Buck. Hopefully I can find that 4 point blacktail I have been looking for, maybe he'll be dumb and chasing those doe. What do you all have planned for late buck?

Post by: bankwalker on November 14, 2009, 11:27:27 PM: im pumped. found a big buck the second weekend of the season but he was just to far for a shot. so after a long stalk and him not being there, i decided to check the area out. its a super steep hillside with one heavily used trail. tons of buck track, alot of beds, and some bice fresh rubs.

the fallowing weekend (last day of the season) i seen 7 deer total use this trail, including a nice spike and what i think was another buck...all of this was glassing about 800yards away.

the nearest point for any sort of shot is 300+ yards to the nearest point on the trail and i only have a 4x scope on my 30-06. and the scope on my girlfriends 243 is super blurry past 150ish yards when its on 9x (full power) :dunno: so im gonna have a hard time trying to get close enough for a shot at any deer i see using that trail...

other then this spot, i do have a couple other nice holes where i have seen some nice buck this season. just a matter of beating the nasty brush to get to them, and hoping for a clear shot.

Post by: Instinct on November 15, 2009, 09:12:33 PM: My buddys told me that they saw a buck during the early modern season and didnt get a shot off at him nor did they hear any gun fire in the area so basically hes still up there. Well I went up there today because that unit is gonna be open for me for archery and saw good sign and a pretty fresh rub, so right now waiting for thanksgiving day to get here so i can go and try to bag him. Cant wait :drool:
