California blacktail deer hunting |
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
I got my first taste of blacktail hunting with my dad at a very early age. My dad was standing next to me when I shot my first buck, a nice 3x2 with eyeguards. I was only 12 years old at the time.
Now 23 years later, I still live for opening day of deer season. There is just something about the outdoors and hunting for big bucks that I just can't seem to get enough of. Over the years I've been fortunate enough to harvest 31 blacktail bucks. I have taken all of my bucks either still hunting or spot and stalk. If you like to tree stand hunt then Northern California is not the place for you, the country is wide open. First off, you need a quality pair of binoculars in 10x42 power and the patience to sit up on a high ridgetop and glass the landscape below thoroughly. I have spotted and then stalked numerous bucks from doing just that, or secondly if you plan to still hunt instead, pay close attention to the wind direction and move very slowly and methodically. Make sure you stop frequently and look and listen to your surroundings, because blacktails like to sneak out behind you after you've passed them by. If you have any questions don't hesitate to e-mail me. Good luck to all blacktail hunters this season.
