Hunt the last (5) days of season, scout doe groups, scout (reds) ie; July August, I can’t stress enough, as I’ve killed most my big bucks of all species, from 10-2, deeper/steeper ain’t always better, get high, glass and glass... nw Oregon, western wa blacktails are by far and away the toughest of deer species to collect.. period. No if ands buts about it... once you unlock the lock, your there..
