2024 Blacktail bucks

[Blueman75]

Well after missing a big buck earlier this week, I told myself I’m not shooting a buck unless he’s big…..this guy had his head in the brush and thought he was much bigger! Dang tree branches looked like antlers!

Thanks everyone. Truly lucky that I ran into him. Guessing he will go in the 130’s. I’m hoping he makes 135 so I can have my name in B&C. That would be pretty sweet, obviously not necessary.

I think he’ll make it, the only deer I have scored was a big 3x3 I killed with my bow, and he was pretty narrow and he scored just shy of 133”




I don’t see how your buck will not score better, I’m guessing he will easily make it

Thank you for that. Your 3pt is really heavy! I’ll report back after he sits a few months with the taxidermist.

Great bucks everyone!

After passing up bigger bucks in easier locations, yesterday it turned into forky-oclock for me too, since it was my last day to hunt.

I have no problem shooting a smaller buck than I passed earlier in the season, max amount of days in the woods and a full tag is great for me. I hate filling my buck tag before the 20th.

We do like eating deer or I would probably never kill one, just hunt the whole season 160” or bust, haha

We had a buck put the slip on us at last light tonight he was cruising and not stopping, tried to cut him off but it didn’t work

I think the last day is her last chance, I hate it’s almost over

I still have not had a chance to really even hunt. Might close down the shop for thursday/friday. We shall see

My first year hunting blacktail hard… in years past I’d go out 3-4 days.. Boy am I addicted even more now. Didn’t tag out.. but learned a lot.. here are a few bucks I’ve been following

That’s a monster 3 point, I bet that was something to see at bow range. I would have had a hard time keeping my composure. I can pull it together for bulls, but bucks are a different story.

I will post a story later, but this went from 0-100 quick

One of the most intense hunts I’ve had… impromptu farm hunt, and holy smokes!
