Well done.  Relocating after being spotted is crucial.

Black Tail deer are a wily breed. A sub-species of the Mule Deer. They are the hardest deer to hunt. Unpredictable in their habits, unlike the Mule and White tail deer, which are easier to hunt.

This is the first year hunting from a treestand in washington state. It is pretty much the standard in the southeast US when I was there. But I have a habit of taking good long naps in a treestand.  :lol:

Season doesn't start till the 12th.

2011 I was elk hunting down around the St. Helens area. An absolutely beautiful clear November morning. I stopped on the down side of a cross over saddle, sat down on a log and broke out some java. I'm sitting there listening, enjoying the morning and being absolutely silent. After 20 minutes or so, I hear some rustling and commotion coming down the hill. Not enough racket to be an elk. Those fuckers sounds like a freight train when they are at a run through the woods. I finally get eyes on the commotion and it's a good sized doe moving at the double quick down the hill towards me. She spots me about 20-30 meters out, peels off hard left and goes down the other side of the hill into a draw.

Well, hot on her tail (no pun intended), about 30-40 or so meters behind, is a 3 point buck, nose to the ground and not paying attention to shit other than that doe. The dumbshit doesn't see me. I had him dead to rights if it were deer season. When he does spot me, he slams into a full stop no more than 20 feet from me. We look at each other for a good three seconds, long enough for me to say, "You're one lucking sumbitch." He then came to his senses and peeled off down the hill after the doe.

:glare:

Lots of hunters here got caught in the big snows that hit the eastern side of the state.  They had to hunker in motels instead of up in 3 feet of snow in the mountains.  I bet there is now a liquor shortage in most of the stores.

Wyoming.  Up on the Laramie Range they got 3+ feet of snow in all the outfitting spots.  The foreigners spent a lot of money to fly in from the East Coast and stay at the Motel 6 in Glenrock, Wyoming.

I don't hunt myself, but I know plenty folks who do.  That means I get steaks and roasts every year (usually the stuff from last year that has been in the deep freeze for 10-11 months).
