Washington Blacktail Buck

I was hunting 20 minutes outside Enumclaw Washington. When the morning hunt was coming to an end, I was getting up to leave, I spotted this nice 4 x 4 blacktail had just popped his head out of the tree line. From 175 yards away I shot, perfect shot. It was one of the most exciting days of my life!

That's a dandy blacktail buck. He almost looks like a cross between a whitetail and blacktail with the main beam so long. I'd take him in a heartbeat. And just outside Enumscratch! Way ta go!

Hunting Tip: Rattling Tips

There can be too much of a good thing with antler rattling. I like to hit the horns together for a good 30- to 40-second rattling sequence and then hang them up and resist the urge to hit them again. This works to the hunter's advantage, because if a buck has heard it, he may have been 300 or 400 yards away and he comes in and he's not exactly sure where it came from. When finally is time to rattle again throw a slight change-up into the routine. The second time, don't rattle as loud...
