I went out this weekend hoping to see a little prerut action. I called in a hot doe with this guy dogging her. This is a Sitka Blacktail on Prince of Wales Island in SE Alaska.

Seriously, Nick...assuming you kill one, and you almost always do as long it's not an antelope....in what period of time will you have killed all five?
Hope you don't get eaten by a big ass bear...
