Please share any lessons you may have learned this past hunting season. I’m sure I learned other things this year but they didn’t come to mind when I was preparing to do this video.

I could eat that every single day. 👍

I can tell you’re really missing working with me!! Lol

Look out for Bigfoot!!

If you have tried winter truck camping leave a comment

Just found your channel, I’m in the Olympia area and hunt public land mostly. I do ok but the struggle is real. What area “roughly” are you hunting in.?

That's some beautiful area. Good luck

I'm super happy for you. I was able to get my friend on a couple the other day. Makes me happy when you can at least see something out there. Keep it up.

Congratulations. I'm happy you were able to get on something.

Heck, i would just walk on it, and plant the row i just marked

old trick for sitting on clear cut all day in rain is poncho. sit on stump with poncho on with small candle under poncho. you can sit a long time and be comfortable. of course be safe with candle. my grandfather would sit on stump all day just glassing and would see alot of deer.

Gosh, I sure wish I could hit the woods with you. I'm half the state further north than you thought

In the trees is a great place to get blacktail. I have cameras all over in the big timber. Personally, I spend the summer scouting, then lock in my area during bear.

I love mornings like that. For some reason it motivates me to push further

A couple things come to mind here, I'm no expert but myself and my kids usually kill blacktails every season. Are you wet with your rain gear on because the rain gear is failing or because you are sweating inside of the rain gear? In the pouring rain like that, it is really hard to stay dry, even with the best rain gear out there. If you are still hunting in the brush, the brush will push the water in it seems. I still hunt a lot in the pouring rain, make sure I am wearing wool that is still warm if it gets wet and I just get wet and know that is part of it. The other option is to find a good 3 to 5 year old clearcut, pitch a tarp to be under, and glass all day. During the latter part of general season and then in the 4 day late season, bucks are usually cruising if they aren't locked down with a doe. I have had a lot of success sitting and glassing clearcuts where I have seen does. I may glass for 4 hours and then glass the same area again, and a deer is standing there, where there wasn't a deer before. It takes some practice and discipline but it is a useful tactic that works. Lastly, if I haven't killed my deer by late buck, I hunt sunrise to sunset. I haven't eaten a tag in a long time and hope this info helps you in some way.

Find new clear cut

When its nasty wind and rain hunt 3-5 yr old cuts along the edges. Where newer cuts meet timber lines prime time for late season is first and last couple hours. One thing about blacktail is when it's heavy rain and wind the tend to stay out of the heavy timber bc cats can sneak up on them. Thick reprod and brushy bowls are a good area to glass and reglass. And once you think you're done glassing go at it once more thats usually when you see them. Good luck

First lite and last lite Late in the season

Search the edges and back corners of younger reprod and into the shrinking open spots as they grow each year, and keep looking for new spots and monitor the growth and deer activity there as well. Sometimes I walk very slowly 50 yards inside the timber, around as much of the section as the wind allows to. I use my binoculars (10 x 42's) a lot, and I can't emphasize that enough. In my rig, i have a pair of 15 x 56 binos with a window mount and i have a tripod for them, too. Even in the timber, i glass a lot. Look for fresh tracks. In the reprod, often you'll just spot part of a deer, an ear twitch, or tail, or hopefully part of a rack sticking up from the jungle. And those crappy days? When its going to rain and bliw multiple days, it takes their ability to feed nocturnally away from them, and you'll see more deer then, and a lot of the better bucks. Keep the rifle in your hands in the timber if you aren't glassing, since your after ghosts, right? One thing I do to keep my reaction time sharp is, say I'm glassing a cut, right? I look at a certain stump and then throw my rifle up into a good shooting posture the goal being to automatically training yourself to settle the crosshairs immediately and steadily on what you were looking at. If you do that 40 or 50 or 100 times a day before the season when your scouting or cutting wood, then when the time comes, it's more of a reflex.

You hunted in the future but came back to show us the video in 2024. Do you own a Delorean by any chance?

Pretty sure you walk louder than me the one time I got to go hunting. 😜

I hope you are wearing ear protection! Even if you aren’t a builder!

Sweet finds 🎉

So cool!!!

My happy place. Either people are buying out my Michael’s or their inventory is limited. Yours looks so packed.

Thats smart, good idea 💡

Just a hint...gives the answer to the quiz 😂

Don't give up. They are out there. Very hard to find, but not impossible.

Not sure if you have late rifle in your gmu, but i hear a lot of guys have better success in the late season. My son didn't get a deer, and we are going over to a different unit for him to hopefully get his tag notched

I'm a western washington guy myself. Blacktail are hard to come across, but I've had pretty good success. I just stay out in the woods until I get what I came for. Sometimes it's opening day, and sometimes I'm out there for a couple weeks. I don't come out until dark, and only get supplies after hunting time. I know a lot of folks can't do it like that, but that's how I fo things. I also don't really hike in with a big pack. I normally bring a fanny, and make sure I have a couple of waters. Sometimes I cover 10 miles a day. It's hard, but I love it.

We really not gonna mention him completely neglecting to react to bro unloading 50 rounds two cuts over? 😂

Unbelievable...why haven't park rangers or care takers of that area handled that...

Yes, I agree, sometimes hunting becomes work and I move around too much versus taking my time.

Good luck out there

No kidding? Big Lots is one of my favorite stores from back in the day I think we bought our most recent couch from there actually

Who is Bruce? Apologies for my ignorance I’m from the uk!

Invest in a jet boil. Fits in your pack, and you can boil water really fast. Top romen and hot dogs and coffee too can be made up on this unit. Even coffee also.

Sad!!

Any sasquatch encounters?

What do you do if you see a bear in the woods ??

Beautiful 🌲 💧 🏔️

Looks great !!
