Meat buck but I’m not picky with a bow and couldn’t pass up a blacktail in velvet. Short season was bittersweet but the sneak I had to put on this guy through the noisiest of clearcuts with the wind shifting multiple times and two spikes bedded around him made the challenge exciting. Quartered you’re me on first shot so exit wound pictured above was far back. Able to get a second arrow in him and end it for good. 55 yards.

Friday night. Quartering toward type shot at about 25 yards with an incomplete pass through!. Not the guy I was after but that one disappeared from camera altogether.
Nice one, that heat was brutal and not much was moving at my place. Congrats

Anya shot her first deer in 2018 at my dad's house in Walla Walla. She had opportunities last year there but no bucks and she didn't want to shoot a doe that might have a fawn. Up here in Spokane she missed a couple of shots so no deer her second year hunting. This year she was ready! 30 minutes in the blind and this fella fell to her arrow (it's good to hunt at grandpa's!)VERY cool! Congrats to all!

My buddy got it done today with his little boy in the blind. His biggest buck to date and just the type of buck he dreamed of having for his first wall mount. Little bit of junk on both sides.

There are bigger deer running around my hunting area (see the 5x6 and 5x5 in the Target Buck thread), but I couldn't pass up a 15 yard chip shot on this nice 4x4. 100 grain RAD broadhead on an Autumn Orange FMJ fired from a 2015 Martin Lithium LTD with a MBG Accent Whitetail sight and QAD rest made for a 35 yard recovery after slicing through both lungs. I got it on video but it's pretty dark (FIRST thing in the morning on Sunday the 13th).Nice deer congrats :tup: That's how i used to do my solo loads now i strap the deer to a spine board and use a warn 2000 portable winch chained to the front load hooks on my truck so much easier pulls them rite in.
And my deer loading platform worked GREAT! No more struggling to load a deer solo!

I had set aside Fri-Tues for the high hunt. Free of family and work obligations, my only choice was where to go. I had narrowed it down to 2 places. Both I had been to several times. My first choice was a spot that usually has *some* game, and I'd shot a bear there before. I'd always seen deer there, just no legal deer. The second was a spot I knew had deer, but the last time I went there was flagging going down the creek bottom until close to the access trail, a clear sign that other hunters knew about it. Would they be there at the opener, and no deer would be left. The weather was better at the second spot, but even though I knew I'd be fighting the fog and rain I went for spot #1. Figured I'd have a good chance at a bear, and a buck would be an outside chance but a possibility.
Drove my kids to YMCA Fri morning, and headed up to the trailhead. Made fairly quick work of the 9 miles in. At the 6 mile marker I could have tried a stalk on a bear I saw about a mile away but was running low on water, I hadn't set up camp, it was a few hours until dark, and there was a storm coming in. So decided to 'save it for the next day' and make it until camp (9 miles in). I half expected some guys with stock to be up there, but they weren't... but there was another fella in the camp spot I wanted to take. But he was an awesome sport and we shared the area. Then the fog rolled in, like 100 yd visibility. We each headed in different directions to stake a spot for a dusk hunt, but it was terrible. Visibility alternating between 40 yards and 120 yards, maybe. Nothing doing.
Day 2 we each started the morning in similar areas. Me up on a ridge, him on a bench. Visibility was terrible again, and worse higher up where I was. My fateful partner saw a few does feeding up and bedding in a meadow. I saw nothing but wet blueberry bushes, fog, and bear *censored*. After that morning, I headed to camp and grabbed a cup of coffee, bailed out my light weight 1 man tent, and headed east towards some promising blueberry meadows...they looked promising for bear anyway which I figured at this point was my most likely option. But, nothing. 10 miles logged that day. Headed back to camp, I felt dejected as the fog bailed in even more. All day, it was 100-400 yard visibility...mostly on the 100 side. And it seemed to be getting worse. And I kept thinking about the bear I'd whimped out on the day before. Would that be my only opportunity this trip. Maybe I'd just skip the dusk hunt, and drink the mini gatorade bottle I'd refilled with tequila? But, despite the loud sound I was making through wet blueberry bushes brushing against my rain pants, I habitually slowed down as I came into one of the last small meadows before camp.
Holy crap! There was a wide body buck just there staring at me broad side, 80 yards away! Just guessing because I lost my range finder earlier that day, but he looked huge. I had a judgment call to make. Just looking at me, there was no way to tell how many points he had on either side. But, judging from his large body, and how wide his antlers were, I knew he was a mature buck. For the first time in my life, I shot without ascertaining his point count (I've passed up many a buck for this very reason). It was a poor shot, really. I did go down to a kneeling position, but rushed it for sure. The shot went off, and as he wheeled and seemed to stumble I was confident I'd hit him, but not how well. I waited for a few minutes, but cognizant that I had a few hours until sundown I slowly headed up to try to track him. I saw a few recent tracks in the direction he went, and found a leaf with a flea-sized speck of blood. Okay, he's hit, I thought. Then another 10 feet and another flea-sized speck of blood. At this rate, I could be in for a long trail. And it had started to rain.
At that point, I searched for the next likely path. And noticed a ghost-white buck to my my left, seemingly hiding under a fallen tree to my left. He gave out one last dying breath and was done. Yes!!
I'll spare some details on the rest of the story, but those who've done this know it was when the real work began. My newfound hunter friend helped process the deer, which was a big help. Comraderie in the field! I'm no stranger to schadenfreude on high buck, but that's awesome when you can get each other's back. The next day after I boned out the meat (and he helped me with the sawing off the skull cap with my tiny saw), we parted ways. I took a whole pack (camp + meat) about a mile and a half until the first big incline, then ferried meat the rest of the way over that day and the next. I stupidly tried a stock on the bears (now two) in the field I'd seen earlier. I smelled like deer blood and jungle rotted feet, the air wasn't moving, and I crashed through brush and berry bushes and had to do the "veggie belay" often with poor results to get there. Needless to say the bears were gone when I got there, but at least I know a better route next time. Glad I didn't have another long round trip of carrying meat the next day. Having enough trouble walking today as it is!
Thanks for listening. Well, reading really. Over and out.

Great buck. I still am not sure if you were actually up where you said you were or if you were trolling, but whether you were actually in there or not, you can bet on the internet rangers being in there next year. So you either blew your own spot, or someone else's. Either way, probably not a good decision. But congrats on the successful hunt.

I woke up before first light and started hiking with my hunting partner. We saw 2 white tail doe about a mile from camp about 100 yards out but we spooked them off. My partner wanted to chase them but i knew they were long gone so we split up. I continued around an area I have seen deer in and came across another hunter that pointed out 2 does and 2 small non-shooter bucks. I told him thanks and that I didn't want to mess up his hunt so I would be on my way. He laughed and said he wasn't after a doe and insisted I go after the bigger doe of the group. We chatted for a few minutes as we watched the deer make their way through a field of sage brush. We made a plan to pinch them out of the brush so I could get a shot. We ended up bumping the deer onto the next hill side. Him being a vet hunter said never chase a deer, wait and wait and slowly follow or if you have a good idea where they are going try to cut them off. So I waited a half hour and started hiking to an area I thought them may have headed. Sure enough they were only a few hundred yards away and I was able to get within 100 yards no problem. Closing the remaining distance took me nearly 2 hours of slowly creeping closer and closer, the deer had me made but I figured if I moved slow they wouldn't see me at a threat. I got within 40 yards but had a ravine and too much brush in my way. I backed out and got onto their side of the ravine just as they headed over the ravine again. This time they were a little more in the open and i got right to 30 yards when the small bucks decided they didn't want anything to do with me. I thought it was over, but then the bigger doe took a step up hill, perfectly quartering away and 30 yards on the dot. I drew my bow, held it there for what seemed like for ever, going through my mental checklist, making sure there would be no regrets letting the arrow fly no matter the result. Boom I hit the release and hear a thud and the deer is instantly crashing down the ravine. Tries to get up and makes 10 ft before it's back down. At this point my heart is pounding and I am in disbelief that I have a deer down just 40 or so yards away. Still worried it might get up and run I quietly wait 15 - 20 minutes, finally go check and she is dead.
What an experience it was. I am so happy to have the vet hunter point out the deer and give me the advice he did. i think talking him put me in the exact calm calculated mind set I needed. Got through the field dressing fairly quickly, i did accidentally pop the stomach and have a nasty puff of stomach gas go right into my face. No spillage or spoiling of the meat though. Got the deer back to camp, got her skinned and sitting in a game bag. Started getting worried about the 80 degree day so decided to quarter it and get it on top of some ice in my coolers. Went from shot taken to fully put away in the coolers in less then 3 hours.
I have 35 pounds of steaks and stuff to grind along with 10 ish pounds of trimming I cooked to mix in with the dog food.
I am grateful to have had this opportunity and have my first deer under my belt. Now to next year and hopefully a buck.

100 yard shot. Deer is still in velvet. Is that odd?
Post by: Rainier10 on September 27, 2020, 08:42:56 AM
We decided to sneak around above him. We got to 60 yards but only could see his horns. He spooked and ran downhill with three does in the lead. They stopped at 100 yards but were all bunched up, no ethical shot. They started to slowly move to the right. The first doe stepped into the opening at 126 yards. We setup for the shot and the buck had read the script. He followed the does on the same path and paused in the opening. She settled her knight bighorn loaded with Leigh 230 grain .45 caliber bullets suggested by @Sabotloader , thanks man, squeezed the triggered and flipped the buck over. Dumped him right there. All of the points are are over an inch so we are calling it a 3x4.

Opening morning my 15 year old daughter passed three legal bucks hoping for a bigger one. We put the stalk on a big 3x3 but just couldn’t get close enough for a shot. It was 11am and I asked if she wanted to go back for lunch or take another look at the deer we had passed. She decided to go take one more look. We found the biggest of the three still in the same basic spot. Earlier he was at 79 yards broadside and then bed down at 84. I was shocked she passed him and now he was 140 yards away.

Well I have gone back and forth on posting this but figured what the hell im not to concerned about being judged. I finally got it done with my bow on one of the nicer deer I had been seeing. Unfortunately that day we had terrible thunder storms. As the group of bucks worked down the hill towards me the thunder started. Then sprinkles of rain, which we hadn’t had for months. Soon it was a torrential downpour and although the thunder had the four bucks on edge they were still feeding and heading my way. As always the biggest in the group was last in line. I had a tall narrow crab claw four point at 10 yards but could see the bigger buck was going to come by on almost the same trail. After being at full draw twice and not being able to get the angle I needed the big buck finally turned broadside at 26 yards. As I struggled to get my aim in the pouring rain I let my arrow fly. He flinched at the shot and I hit him higher and further forward than I wanted, but watched the arrow disappear into his shoulder. I only waited a few minutes for the other bucks to clear the area as they were trying to figure out what happened. I found a few spots of blood, no arrow and within minutes the blood I had was gone. Soon there was standing water and even the tracks were washed away it was raining so hard. I grid searched all day. Could not come up with anything. He went right into a creek bottom that was thick with hawthorns and all kinds of brush That was over your head. I crawled around on every bear trail in there and could not find him. I went home dejected and almost in disbelief that I had watched the arrow get great penetration but couldn’t find him. Going back to look even though knew the meat was a loss at this point I saw a huge bear, too far to shoot without a rifle. I dropped down the hill and covered ground to get closer. As I peeked over the hill again he was going into the brush, right where I had been looking for my buck. He had a beat down trail going in and after more looking found where he cashed my deer he ate. I had been less than 20 yards from it when I was looking but it was just so thick you couldn’t see it unless you tripped over it. So no meat to show but I am tagged out on deer for the year. Definitely a bitter sweet ending, must have only got one lung since he went 300+ yards through thick terrain. But at least he’s not still out there suffering and the bear got a good meal.
Bummer man! looks like it was a nice buck. Way to stay positive and and keep at it until you found it!

Got this guy on third day of muzzy season. I was fishing when my buddy saw him across the river. I took the canoe over and met him face to face at 20 yards! He walked into some timber and up the hill. Ranged him at 56 yards and dropped him! My buddy and I threw him in the canoe and got him back to camp.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201002/538a73da6face61a58c5810f51e57ca6.jpg)

Anya shot her first deer in 2018 at my dad's house in Walla Walla. She had opportunities last year there but no bucks and she didn't want to shoot a doe that might have a fawn. Up here in Spokane she missed a couple of shots so no deer her second year hunting. This year she was ready! 30 minutes in the blind and this fella fell to her arrow (it's good to hunt at grandpa's!)Love this when the chicks get the bucks!
Finally got to use the knife I made her!

Eastern Oregon hunt.
Because of all the craziness of Covid I didn’t get to head down and scout like I would have liked to. So BaseMap and Onxmaps scouting happened a ton. I headed down this last Saturday morning to an area I thought might be pretty good. I planned on hiking high into the backcountry for the first 4-5 days and then heading down to lower elevations for the last part of the week. Goal was to try and shoot something nice at the beginning and then focus on just getting anything legal at the end to bring meat home. The first day I hiked up and went over to a big basin to get water only scaring a few deer and finding lots of tracks and mountain goats. The full moon was so bright I figured that most the deer moved only at night, first light, or last light. Sunday morning I left my camp and headed down to a draw I hadn’t been yet hoping to find deer that hadn’t been spooked from the day before. While sneaking down I got to a glassing point and within 10 minutes I spot a BIG buck feeding out of another draw towards the bottom of the basin below me. At 500 yards he looked huge in the first light and I had a little buck fever going. I began to move down to him as he disappeared moving left to right. I made a plan to move to the right into the basin and hope that he would pop out of the thicker area into the open moving to bedding. So I sat down an waited but chose a poor position with no shooting rest available. After a little while a buck pops out around 340 yards walking quickly. I make a bunch of buck fever decisions and never get a shot off as he walks into some more thick brush in the bottom of the basin and disappears again. This buck looked a little different and like he had a 3” kicker. So now I’m pretty sure at this point that my mind is playing tricks on me. After sitting there for hours waiting for him to come back out I decide to head back up to camp and get out of the sun and heat. I head back down to the same area around 3 and began to watch the same area until last light. With around 15 minutes of light left and still no deer I decide to pack up and head over to watch the other draw for a couple minutes before I head back to camp. As I do this walking on a log about 5 feet from where I was sitting I break a stick as I loose my balance a little bit. I look back down into the basin an see something dark that wasn’t there all day long at 330 yards. I put the binoculars up and see a great buck standing broadside looking right at me!!!! Of course he would pop out when I just left the spot that I had a solid shooting rest. So I drop my binoculars, sit on my butt and take aim off my knee... boom...whackkk...he runs around 15 yards and starts just to stand there staggering. I move to my left and take my pack off so I could use it as a shooting rest and fire another round off. Boom..whackkkk. He stands there swaying for another couple seconds and then tumbles down the hill. Lots of excited calls later and one of the hardest pack outs I’ve had he’s butchered and on the wall since I’ve had a whole week of vacation to work on him. Exciting hunt and fingers crossed for late muzzy now.

Thats a great buck there. Im going to hunt deer in idaho in less than a month. Both white and mule will be fair game. Never seriously hunted mule deer before, so as much as i love whitetail im hoping i can shake up a muley buck like that, something that would turn my crank enough to notch my tag on a mule deer and check that off my bucket list. Probably not going to happen, but who knows.

Opening morning was not what we expected. With hunters everywhere, I was surprised to find this buck bedded between multiple different groups of hunters. After sneaking in from a 1000 yards out getting to 400 and missing, he came running torwards me. I finally got him at 250 broadside and he rolled all the way to the bottom. I one tripped him out solo as my buddy drove the truck to the bottom to pick me up.holy smokes you actually hit something :chuckle:

Not much of a story to tell. 3 miles bicycling and a quarter mile of walking and there he was. Below me and going straight away. Hit him high in the neck off the shooting sticks, about a 100 yards and the season is over.Great looking blacktail Bruce. Do you have a cart for your bike?

Yep, I have a cabelas game cart. One drawback to it is the darn wing nuts on the bolts that go on when you unfold it for use. They are always backing off no matter how tight you get them. Lost one today. I think I am going to drill them for molly hogans.Not much of a story to tell. 3 miles bicycling and a quarter mile of walking and there he was. Below me and going straight away.

Dr, hinted about me taking a hear stress test. I think I just did today. 3 miles in and 3 out to get the cart, 3 back in and 3 out with the deer so 12 miles plus three hills to go up on the way out. Home by 12:30.

I think I am no my 4th or 5th set of wing nuts for mine. When we hauled Little Pathfinder's bear out of the woods this August one came off in the dark somewhere along the trail. We replaced it with black electrical tape... :P

She may be long arming, But that thing is still huge. Look at the size of her hand compared to the tines. I think that is a quality BT...

10 years since my last deer and this one almost didn't happen. We were all packed up and ready to head down the mountain when this stud decided to cross the road above camp. Fifteen minutes of chaos and searching, I was finally able to put this buck down for a dirt nap. Couldn't have done it without my buddies and thankful for all their help.
Great buck!

700 yard stalk
Shot at 160 yards
7000 feet of elevation and over 3 miles pack out.
Could not have done it without the help of my friend Chris who spotted it and insisted that there were bucks in the area. Also thanks to Harry who was also spotting and helped with the pack out.
My son Kyle was also part of the original spotting of the buck but was not able to be there 5 days later when I shot him.
I am thankful for all of the guys in my hunting camp who invited me 5 years ago and have been outstanding encouragement and excellent friends. They were as excited as I was!
There is a long list of people who have contributed to my hunting experience over the past several years which came together this week. I am thankful for all of them and value their help.
This includes this forum which was a big part of my initial education as I started hunting later in life.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201024/1d4705fcb60ffbf64037b756b5e56aae.jpg)

I was thrilled with how it happened. I think I spotted this deer and a similar buck the night before the opener, stuck around that spot for a couple days, and relocated him for a classic spot & stalk the morning after a nasty high-elevation wind/sleet storm. It was six miles from the road, half of that off-trail. There were no other hunters around for miles and hundreds of elk (see the hilltop in the background of the pic), with some of the bulls bugling up a storm. Awesome experience in the mountains.

After two years trying to get a mule deer in WA and one year coming close but not connecting over in Idaho, I finally got it done in my second year hunting ID:Nice buck grats.

Hey everybody, welcome to the new site! Blacktails of Washington... Lol, I don't recall so many nice blackies over the years
Your not kidding. On top of these bucks I have pictures of 2 mashers. One from Kitsap and one from Lewis. The Lewis buck is bigger than any buck on here this year. It's a jaw dropper.

JakeLand gets bonus points for the best pack-out procedure in addition to a great buck.
I left my trailer at home because I was tired of hauling it back and forth empty. Btw, @jakeland gave me info on the trailer he used, as well as some optics defogging tricks, that have helped me immensely, but here was my creative way to do the 4 miles without the trailer :chuckle:

JakeLand gets bonus points for the best pack-out procedure in addition to a great buck.
I left my trailer at home because I was tired of hauling it back and forth empty. Btw, @jakeland gave me info on the trailer he used, as well as some optics defogging tricks, that have helped me immensely, but here was my creative way to do the 4 miles without the trailer :chuckle:
Isn’t that how it happens? Leave the trailer or deer cart or whatever, and you get a buck! Good job!

Got this blacktail with a quality late season tag for modern. My biggest deer to date.awesome Blacktail no need for any color as in gloss of anyother kind of stain or anything he's already got all the color he needs grats.

After 5 days hunting over there and seeing some bull moose we came home and I got the 2x3 blacktail on the 25th.
Then my friend went to Montana with his BIL and they got the next 2 on the second and third days they were there.

I took my Idaho whitetail last Saturday afternoon (around 4:00 PM) with some light rattling and grunting back in the forest, just adjacent to some small open patches of green grass. He came in to 6 yards, and gradually walked off to 15 yards while I pondered whether to close my season. His venison, my favorite trophy, is outstanding. :)
(Sorry for the duplicate post with the whitetail rut thread).
Best of luck to all of those still hunting!

2020 late archery whitetail
Any signs of that whitey being a cross with a muley?! Those G2s look like muley
Forked G2s are super common in mature whitetails up in the mountains :tup:

Congrats on a dandy blacktail and first archery harvest. I rotated the photo for ya.
Thanks. I tried re attaching the photo probably right at the same time you were trying to flip it so it’s upside down again. Not sure why it’s doing that. Thanks for fixing it.

That's a beautiful buck Laural!! Congrats to you and the hard work you put in. Not as easy as that 2 point you got with your rifle though huh?Ha! No not as easy at all. The big fork was close to the road. With this buck I was about a mile or so deep when I shot him. Lots of work but very worth it.

Well that's a very nice good old buck. I know you had help getting it out. If you ever get in a jam let Mike or me know and we can help out. Well Mike can carry your bow. :chuckle:Haha! Will do, thanks. :chuckle:

Late WA buck permit.Nice whitetail, glad you were able to fill your buck permit on something pretty nice. I know a lot of other people that weren’t so successful including myself.

:yike: Cool, was it an injury that messed up his one side you think?
I'm not sure, I didn't notice any obvious injury's on him. It's possible that he could have damaged it somehow during the early growing stages while in the velvet this year also.

Here’s my late archery 2020 buck. Finally sealed the deal with this guy. I’ve been after him for awhile now.Stud buck man! I cant decide if its a bummer or awesome that he grew a screwed up antler. :chuckle: A euro would he sweet and then put his cape on the sheds and have the best of both worlds!

I was thinking same thing is it a bummer that its screwed up on one side or even cooler that way?? :chuckle: Fantastic buck regardless but I kinda prefer the freaks so I think I like him better screwed up! Plus you have the sheds would be a great mount together

Post by: Elkslayer on December 17, 2020, 04:01:29 PM
Anything wrong with his opposite hind leg? Strange question but have seen it twice nowI wasn’t able to find any noticeable damage to this buck anywhere. I also had the opportunity to watch him up close a couple weeks ago. I had him under my stand tending to a doe for a good 30 minutes without ever offering me a good shot opportunity. He appeared to be perfectly fine then.

@Elkslayer, great deer. I think I may know what you mean by being after him for a "while". Mind if I ask what day you killed him?I got him On the 14th.

dang elkslayer! what a great deer! even better having the history with him.The sheds score 78 2/8 and 75 4/8, this years good side scored 78 5/8, he had a little more mass and longer main beam and time length this year.

Great buck!! What sort of nastiness is in the foreground of pic #1? Fungus, special rock, intestinal tumor, or some sort of special buck lure?
I never noticed that. Its a piece of burnt bark, but making it a thumbnail made it look like 😳

Nice job bigbds61! That face looks so long on the close up picture of that buck. Makes him look old sort ofI am pretty sure he was fairly young based on body size. Only 90lbs hanging. Only took him because of his poor genetics with the narrow rack. Wanted him out of the gene pool.

Kinda of a bad shot think my arrow hit some brush and deflected a bit went high left but still cut a major artery massive blood trail can't say enough about the shuttle t's.
