2024 Blacktail bucks

[BRTreedogs]

Kiddo finally killed her target buck after 7 days of morning and evening sits waiting for him to show up.

Man super cool buck.

I've been on some hunts with the family over the past week or so that have produced some deer. It seems like the cold the past couple days has really helped. We've always seen the rut start to get going around the 25th(where we are) and that seems to be happening this year as well. I haven't been trying to shoot one yet but I'll be hitting some 2020 burn areas at the end of the season after I get back from helping on a NE Oregon elk tag.

Congrats to everyone who's tagged out and good luck to those still hunting.

Seasons are under way, let's see em!

The one that got away… glassed him at 1600 yards but when we got in range he was gone, never to be seen again. GHOSTED

600 series for the doe general tag for the buck. She had a can on the rifle and the doe didn't run after she shot the buck so we told her to let her have it.

Put a tape on my girlfriends first buck after finishing caping him this evening. 137 2/8” gross 133 1/8” net green score. It’s going to be awhile before she can top this one. (Edited to correct score after double checking my math while awake and caffeinated not up for 18 hours)

With a bull in the freezer already I took the best first opportunity on a nice meat buck! 30 yard shot with the 6.5. Doesn’t look like that caliber needs anymoor… didn’t go 5 feet

Finally connected on my absolute last day to hunt in WA. Made all the days of sitting in pouring ass rain and trudging back and forth in the dark worth it

Thanks man!

Had to bring the pup for a trip up the hill. She showed me that I had walked by 5 times only 10 yards below me.
Glad she found it, first time I haven’t found a buck after the shot.

Congratulations!! I've been passing a lot of bucks the last handful of years hoping to find one like that. Still hasn't happened

I waffled on whether or not to take this buck yesterday. He wasn't quite as big as I wanted but ultimately with my few hunting days left, I decided I would shoot him on the last day "Why not take him now?" Afterwards, I was very happy I did as he had a wound in his left front leg that looked like an unfortunately poor shot by another hunter. It was mostly crusted over but still looked painful although he didn't show it at all when we spotted. him.
