Post by: snowninja on October 15, 2011, 12:04:12 PM: still hunted this morning for a few hours, watched 5 different does work the reprod, was interesting to watch their tactics. one of them stood dead still for 10 minutes and we had a stare down. these blacktail really like to work the ledges and brush. was great learning. also had a bear blowing air at me for about 20 minutes around 7am. that got my blood pumping but i never did see him.. on the way back down saw fresh buck tracks (dew imprint) in the timber, i'll be going back to look for him after lunch.
