count me in! This is my first season hunting, and unfortunately due to life I haven't been able to spend much time out in the field. Only day I can head out is Thursday though.Who is going out for late modern??
same. I have ONE spot that MIGHT be good, but other than that... Its going to be all luckGonna try to but it's been such a busy fall with work I'm really gonna be flying blind
That is very interesting, I've always wondered if the whitetail tactics would be effective, thanks for sharing!I'm a western WA (coastal) blacktail junkie. I buy my modern rifle tag and use archery equipment to hunt them. The OTC modern tag IMO is the best time of year to hunt blacktail in WA. You get pre rut and post rut with the general and the late rifle season. There are some great alpine opportunities in September with the archery tag and the high buck rifle hunt as well. I draw my multi-season tag almost every year but didn't buy it this year, not enough time to hunt in September for deer, just elk. The statistics aren't the best, but I believe that with enough scouting and hunting the right time a person can have a shot at a P&Y blacktail every year OTC in WA on public access lands.
Very nice buckShot this guy on the 20th.

Nice info, do you hunt mostly public? Or private timber properties. I’m trying a new timber property, never had success with blacktails, seen a few but never closed the deal. Any tips would be great.I will add that 90% of the orange army in October hunts weekends and either road hunts from trucks or sits on clear cuts. Whitetail tactics are the most under used blacktail strategy in WA. Tree stands, saddle stands, rattling, grunts and scent trails are proven tactics for blacktails. Another interesting tidbit is all my P&Y and B&C bucks were shot under 50 yards in thick cover like alder bottoms and big timber transition zones. I have never killed a buck in a clear cut for what it's worth.
What are of Washington do you live in?Nice info, do you hunt mostly public? Or private timber properties. I’m trying a new timber property, never had success with blacktails, seen a few but never closed the deal. Any tips would be great.
Tacoma/federal wayWhat are of Washington do you live in?
Damn man !! Awesome bucks!!Here’s a few WA blacktail, the last 5 seasons. All rifle bucks. Modern is my personal favorite, but I see the biggest bucks of the year usually post season scouting, during late archery.
