So when they're in rut they're moving around alot looking for lady friends? Where do they typically travel? Do they stay in the big timber, younger growth, or just everywhere? I imitated a buck rubbing on a tree and had a spike come in on Friday. Talking coast range here.
They should be cruising for Doe right now... Covered paths of least resistance...
Find the Doe, You will find the Bucks... Set up and estrus call, Grunt, Rattle...
Make sure your in cover and your image is broken up by the surrounding brush... Good camo and gloves really help with that weary buck sneaking in... New for this year I bought a decoy, Early season I was busted by a dandy buck slipping in, I heard nothing on the way in, But I sure heard him leave... Bung Hole and antlers is all I saw....

Any one know anything about Starker land? We have been going to Tum Tum and Shotpouch tree farms. See a lot of sign at Tum Tum but no actual deer. Yesterday we saw four does by themselve at random spots at Shotpouch, but they were close to where the logging trucks were coming and going...
If you see two spikes in a area...What are the chances of those spikes staying in the same area the next year as they become fork n horns or do they move on?
Blacktails for the most part are resident animals ... The bigger bucks will cruise for doe as the rut progress's ...
Hey SDR,
Got any hints when you think rut's going to start this year?
SDR,
Any tips on the sequence for rattling or calls?
I've been hunting blacktails in NW Oregon, mostly in Columbia County, for a few years now with 0 luck. Either I'm the worlds worst hunter or I just don't know what the heck I'm doing. I was never shown how to hunt, and the old farts I hunt with now mostly like to road hunt or only go out for about 2 hours a day. Without a little advice I feel like I'm doomed to be skunked again this year.
Can anyone please post best hunting advice, websites with GOOD info, tips, prayers, or anything else that might help a guy fill his tag this year?
