Nope ,no shooting area of 2-8.It was pissing pretty good tho when i stalked in on them, had a good wind in my face and got close before a doe spotted my movement.The next week will be prime,now to get some days off work..

[Buckmeister]

I saw a small muley 2 point tailing a doe early last week. Nose down, tail up. Where she went, he went. The next two weeks should get exciting.

[Takla]

Good luck Buckmeister,local 2-8 bucks are definately ruting now.My BT buck kills in previous yrs have been juring the first 2 weeks of nov,with the second week the hottest, looking foreward to snow at higher elevation soon.Smelt a strong buck odor hunting on monday at around the 800 ft level but no siteing...he was close tho in deep timber

takla heard rumour of some rutting region 2 bucks getting dropped today...

[Rayne]

I heard the same thing walkswithdeer. The picture made me pretty jealous though ��

[walks with deer]

he earned it....

takla knows the individual aswell..i might have to come south for a visit..

[walks with deer]

have to find my rain gear havent used it since i moved lol

[Takla]

Heading out early tomorrow,snow and rain mixed in town here but just took a drive up to mill lake with my granddaughter and the snow was coming down heavy this will get the bucks moveing down to lower elevations

[walks with deer]

good luck takla bring stevo he has the day off....you too rayne..

[Takla]

I tried lighting a fire under stevo's asz a couple weeks back and havent heard anything from him,youd think some of our past success would get him motivated....I know he does love eating blacktail steaks..couple fresh inchs of snow out there this morning they shouldnt be to hard to find..

[walks with deer]

i sent him a pic of a nice blacktail..get him going

[walks with deer]

hope you guys had a good day..just heard another rutting blacktail fell.

It seems a little earlier this year, hunting partner and I dropped a 2 bucks 2 weeks ago with doe’s that were getting a little rut dumb. Also in 2-8.

[Rayne]

I couldn't even find tracks today but everyone's success just makes me more eager to get out there again tomorrow. Hopefully I'll see some deer

[albravo2]

Good luck Takla!

I'm headed up to 3-16 in the morning. I know I'll bag some firewood at the very least but hoping to get in on this rutting activity. I've seen plenty of does in the past month but the bucks have been nowhere to be seen. Hopefully the snow, the cold and the smell of estrous is bringing them down now.

Straight shooting!

Well we did a bit better then that ..lol..we did find A fresh lone buck track in the snow but nothing in them and it was in thick shit ..think jungle,same area we smelled the rutting buck the other day !Checked lots of the usual spots,drive /hike and repeat,zero rubs,found ourselves at the 800 ft level hikeing in 8 inchs of fresh snow that dumped the night before.Heading back into the jungle this morning lots of small alders down leaning from the weight of the snow makes access brutal but hey its BT hunting..lol good luck all.

Back into the jungle this morning at first light and lots of sign!Came across a big buck track{bigger than the 5 pt BT wallhanger in my rec room]with doe just after first light.There finally moving after yesterday nights snowstorm.We hiked a few hundred ft higher thru timber and cut 3 more seperate sets tracks s0 there was a fair amount of action over night but still no sightings.All tracks were headed lower in elevation around the 7-800 ft mark in 6-8 inch of snow
