Hey all, new member from Oregon.
I heard about this site from another hunting forum. When I saw there’s a blacktail subforum, I had to join.
About me: I’m an adult onset hunter. Took hunter Ed in high school, but didn’t come from a hunting family, so no opportunities growing up. With the exception of one paid pheasant farm hunt, and one unsuccessful duck hunt, I had never hunted before 30, that was 2 years ago. It’s a heck of a learning curve hahaha.
Retook hunter ed in August of ‘21, then headed into the forest in October in search of black tails. Well, two seasons down and no luck finding a buck yet. Having a blast out in the woods all the same, though. Grew up in the Boy Scouts in Ohio, and was an airborne infantryman 3.5yrs in Alaska, so the outdoors is nothing new to me, but it’s astounding the things I never noticed until I was looking for animals. It added a whole new dimension! I’ve also since tried hunting turkey, grouse, and fall bear.
Haven’t bagged anything yet, but it’s only a matter of time!
