Should be a tasty one...If you shoot one, east or west side, post em up with a story. I passed a spike opening morning and saw like 8 or 9 does. My brother decided to shoot the spike so at least I got to pack some meat. I’m holding out for one of the three mature ones I scouted in summer.
I’ve killed quite a few animals in the Stott. Used to be top tier Blacktail hunting before the mountain lion population exploded. I’ve never called one in but you can use rattling antlers and/or a can call. I’ve killed 90% of my Blacktail by hiking in behind a gate and glassing steep canyons.Should be a tasty one...
New to Black tail hunting myself, Used to muleys. Any Luck calling in black tails during the rut?
Hunting the Stott mountain unit in 2 weeks, Plenty of Elk, bear, and does on my trail cameras but these damn bucks are hard to find, Maybe why I am so intrigued by them...
Any Tips or pointers greatly appreciated.
Couple trail cam photos to keep the mood up...

Break that skull in 2 pieces its illegal to have intact skull if your not already aware cool findAfter some scouting and hiking with my daughter in the area, we can confirm the mountain lion theory...
Looks like this thing was used as a chew toy, Probably was a nice looking buck.

Awesome finish!Scored my second buck ever (and my best) earlier this week. I was solo so the front facing camera/self timer photos aren’t great but they do the job.
