I know many here are hunters based in the PNW and so I figured this section needed a black tailed deer thread as they are the grey ghost of the cascade range. The mature blacktail buck is truly the toughest ungulate to locate and hunt in North America Please feel free to share stories, strategies and photos of the pursuit. I will start off with my own experience and strategies. In my few years of learning mature black tail buck behavior and patterns I have found that these guys like to be up along benches, plateaus and saddles that are difficult to approach, they routinely move between these kind of bedding areas and a series of feeding zones such as 5 to 8 year regrowth of clearcut or select cut stretched over terrain that has relief points and staging areas. If there are springs and marshes nearby the chances are even better that you are on a great spot, they are edge habitat creatures and like irregular pockets of different forest types and feed heavily on general browse in the summer favoring red huckleberry leaves, alder, vine maple and cottonwood. In the fall and winter they shift to hitting lichen, mushrooms, alder, salal and huckleberry tips. The older mature deer become very nocturnal and move to a very heavy lichen diet and hold up in old growth timber, these older deer will tolerate a little more snow to remain in higher areas that predator pressure is lower. The also seem to move less overall and don't run until later in the rut but rather wait for does to get pushed into their core areas as they escape the younger bucks and human created pressure. At 4+ years they essentially build a knowledge of what areas do not get pressured that also have and retain resources late into the year. As far as basic behavior they will use the wind and stand perfectly still for well over 15 minutes watching and listening before entering into a new environment to try and pick out predators and movement. I have had them catch me move just an inch and they will circle the detected disturbance until they can catch a scent before dropping their guard to feed or approach, they will also stay in their bed in the brush until you get almost on top of them if they feel you do not know they are there.. Younger bucks make more mistakes and will lean hard into the rut and take chances if there are hot does nearby. My goals for getting close are to identify remote transitional habitat pockets, locate feeding zones and then key in on old rub routes within 60 yards of primary game trails that take me to knobs, benches and flat top ridges. I then will set cameras up along staging areas and try to plan still hunt routes based on dominant wind and barometric pressure changes around wet nasty weather. I also E-scout often to try and understand how the does are using the area and how the bachelor groups settle in around fall as they break up. I often find higher deer density in areas that have some south east exposure for warmth in winter as well as some wrap around benches to face north east as this is an escape from the wind in winter and some shade and cool in summer. Hope this is helpful to some of you guys out there and feel free to add any tips you have.

Published in the Woodland (CA) Daily Democrat on May 21, 1891. When I find one article about an old encounter, I like to see if I can find others. I'm not sure that attributing huge tracks to the young ladies of Capay bathing explains this find.

Chest did not heal…again. Go see surgeon tomorrow. So I have taken myself off of light duty. And I went for a Wolf hunt in Idaho. Went over Gisborne ridge. Lots of fog down low, finally broke out up high. I saw lots of deer and elk. Whitetail and elk on the way out down low. Mule deer up high. No wolves. There was about 4 inches of snow up top in the shade.

Thanks for posting all the articles and that was really a great effort. It was quite interesting to know that some of the reports that I posted were, of value and that the Indians did have a problem with bigfoots that kept bothering them. Your writings are always very detailed and thank-you for participating on this topic. You always do a good job of answering and replying to topics that helps keep the entire forum membership informed.

LOL! I believe it's part of the climate propaganda. Polar bears have become the poster victim, so they show how difficult life is for them. However, it's true that the climate ideology has exploded research into the Arctic, including polar bears. There have been lots of "discoveries" (which, really, are nothing new to the natives). Before all of this, I was well educated on how I never want to encounter one of these "cute" monsters in real life. I don't spend time north of the Arctic Circle, and there are numerous reasons for that. Polar bears are one of them. Brown and black bears are dangerous enough. I want nothing to do with the white guys..............

You know what I realized yesterday? My YouTube always suggests wildlife content, and every time its polar bears, these bears are being duped by walrus or seals and they almost NEVER get the kill. The media is anti polar bear and I am sick of it. Just show me the King of the North getting some kills already!!!

Some say it was Ben Franklin, while others claim it was the movie mogel Samuel Goldwyn, but someone once quipped something to the effect, "The harder I work, the luckier I become." Many people get into sasquatching thinking they'll step up to the plate and hit a home run on the first pitch. They quickly become disillusioned because it's cold, wet, a lot of work, tiring and they have nothing to show for it. To truly enjoy sasquatching, you have to love being outdoors in nature with all its beauty and misery. You also must have a tenacity to accept failure time-and-time again. Many young people grew up with the notion they should get a trophy for just showing up. In real life, and particularly with nature, it doesn't work that way. MIB...you've been at it tirelessly for a long time and kudos to you. You also have a lot to show for it. Kudos again. The best we can do is to accept we're dealing with a long shot and evaluate all the variables to try to narrow the odds, even if only slightly. For example, I used the SSR Database and worked a number of variables into the search of sightings into my region. Moon phase, elevation, access to water, number of people involved, etc. I was surprised when I found the most likely time in my area to have a sighting was between 9pm and 11pm. Activity dropped off after that. Once I changed my approach and was fully operational and ready at 8:30pm, I had more things occur then in prior outings. Never give up and enjoy every moment out there regardless of whether you have a sighting, find a footprint, or hear a howl. Those are the icing on the cake.

I think unless you fall into a habituation setting the math is always against you. Both were accidents / surprises, but the more time you spend in good spots at the right times the less unlikely fortunate accidents become. That, combined with being willing to accept what you see. I'll share a story as an example of what I mean by that. My father is a scoftic though he tells one story which suggests he is also a witness. As an early teen, dad accompanied his father who was working as a construction engineer when the ski lift at White Pass in Washington was first built. (I'm not personally familiar with the location.) Apparently dad was in the back of the crummy with the crew and as they drove up the highway, there was a break in a line of trees separating the highway from a field. Through that gap, dad says he saw something out in the field that looked like what he imagines a bigfoot would look like "if bigfoot existed" and that something was not there when they came back at the end of the day. Hmmm. You have to not be so afraid of ridicule that you deny / distance yourself from your own experiences. I doubt most people here would do that but I have to wonder how many people have experiences they just don't want to invite ridicule for. If you separate positive ID sightings from process of elimination sightings, then I've had 2 others. I think both were the same year, 2013, but I can't swear to it, and they were along the same ridge system, within 10 miles or so, of the second of the positive ID sightings. Again, it is being in the right place the right season presenting an opportunity for blind dumb luck to help .. and then not being in denial about what is going on, just matter of fact about pros and cons of what seems to be happening. I hope you have a sighting. Hope it is long enough to satisfy any doubts. My main tool, even though it is only through 2015 or so, is mangani's bigfoot overlay for Google Earth. By messing with the time sliders, if there are enough reports in an area, it suggests seasonal movement. So .. figure out when that's going to be most likely to happen and try to be in place ahead of time. It really helps to have some other reason to be there so boredom doesn't interfere. For me, hunting, fishing, exploring off-trail, a little bit of feeble photography really help the effort. And yet, at the same time, at the moment I can't think of any fairly certain activity I've experienced in several years .. it's been pretty quiet. MIB

First story published in the Pittsburgh (PA) Post-Gazette on October 27, 1907. Then things get confusing. Following the arrest of a man for threatening a landlady, residents of Verona identified his shrieks as those of the wild man who terrified the area the week prior. But this newspaper article was printed in The Pittsburgh (PA) Post a full week before the first first story, on October 21, 1907.
