Title: Blacktail buck down
Post by: webbspinner on October 27, 2010, 04:21:34 PM: So went out this morning and was able to get a fast shot at my biggest blacktail to date. Kinda new to this timber ghost hunting, shot plenty of whitetail and mule deer, so it kinda became personal. :chuckle: Not saying I got this style of hunting figured out but we'll see if I can repeat next year. :) Got this weekend and late buck to try and guide my boy and future son-in-law to success. Meat in the freezer. :IBCOOL:
Thanks to all for helping this eastern washington transplant with all the good advice. Gonna taste good.

Keep after them, I think I put more miles on the boots this year than any other chasing blacktail, cruised timber and snuck reprod and creeped the brush. Finally got one that I knew was around. could say skill, but that remains to be seen. :chuckle:

But I hope you are't disappointed when you eat one for the first time.
They do have a more wild taste then mulies or whities, or that's has been my experiance at least.

Post by: webbspinner on October 27, 2010, 07:15:05 PM: Already ate a couple, quite tasty, wild doesn't bother me. Grew up on wild game of all kinds, even some most are shocked I've ate. :chuckle: The other two were little fellas tho, this one was heavy, not sure of weight but felt heavier than 150. Could be I am just getting older. :dunno: Definitely rutty for sure, head looked like a peanut on top of a fencepost. He was nose down and cruising just had a snap shot then he would have been gone. He was definitely looking for some romance, was starting to smell pretty good. isn't it a little early for that?
Here is another pic.

Post by: webbspinner on October 27, 2010, 10:11:02 PM: Good luck Fanatic, 8) They were in the thick today, but that's normal :chuckle:. More like rabbit hunting. Now I'm getting stoked for elk. One more week (and a couple days) then hopefully Bang Flop! Hope to see the boy get a shot this weekend at a buck. I think that would get his blood flowing and maybe make hunting almost as exciting as girls. :chuckle:
