I can't believe how many hunters there are in Idaho now. A few of my old spots are overrun, so had to search for someplace new this morning.

As I was driving in the dark I was searching for three things:
A steep hill that I didn't want to climb (and neither would anyone else).
No cars parked anywhere near it.
No campgrounds anywhere near it.

Found an area that fit the above, started out as it was getting light. As I got to the top of the first ridge I found a herd, and just like the last few times out, they were all does and fawns. All ten.

A very short distance later, in another direction I find a herd of about 15 as they were moving up higher. I glassed the front deer first since they were father away, and made my way back. Doe, doe, fawn, repeat... until the very last deer, a buck! Finally!

Ranged him at 248, got in place and set, he hadn't moved too far so was likely 260, max. Mostly broadside, told myself take a few breaths, relax, and the 145LRX was on its way.

Unfortunately he slid/rolled damn near into the creek at the bottom, and would have if it weren't for all the brush. Can even see his path in the pic. Hill was too steep, he was too big, I was too weak, couldn't get him out from where he was so had to quarter him in place. Four hours after the shot, was in the 4Runner on my way home.

That's what I call working a plan.  Way to get it done!

Wednesday was the first day of my annual week off for blacktail. Jakeland takes the same week off every year and all we do is hunt sunup to sun down.
 We get up at 3:30am ride our mountain bikes ungodly distances up ungodly hills, totally relieved to reach the top so we can coast down the other side the same ungodly distance. We know it will be hell going back, but will cuss and cry about that later. Your either soaked with sweat or rain, but either way your going to be wet. We enjoy every second of it......its blacktail hunting.
