Didn't say it was impossible, you have to earn it… that meaning, you have to put in the work of scouting, get tuned into the particular environment you're stalking, etc. making mistakes while hunting blackies will cost you.Get one every year. People make it sound mythical and impossible. Hope you like brush. Bring a machete.
Public or private land?Get one every year. People make it sound mythical and impossible. Hope you like brush. Bring a machete.
A good buck every year? Or just forks and small 3 points? I kill a buck every year but it's like every 3rd year I kill a real good one!Get one every year. People make it sound mythical and impossible. Hope you like brush. Bring a machete.
Private land is much easier.Both. State land and private timber companies. Find brushy spots no one else dares to go. Here's a good picture of premium blacktail habitat. I never scout, don't need to the critters are habitual an live in the same areas.

You are 100% correct! I'm definitely not a horn hunter, with 4 kids and 1 on the way it's all about the meat. But every once in a while buck almighty steps out in front of you! I think they call that a blind squirl finding a nut every now and again....Exactly. Can't eat the antlers and fuel is too expensive to pass up on the first good mature buck.
Sit an listen. You hear them before you see them. Glass for 45 mins then start walking trails thru the brush an be ready for fast action.Private land is much easier.
But good tip on the brushy habitat. Do you glass all day waiting to spot movement?
