I have recently started getting into hunting Colombia Blacktail in Southwest Washington. I have some public land bordered by private on all sides with a healthy population of deer using a natural corridor between two Alfalfa/CRP fields. I am hoping to focus on the late archery season. My question is based on deer behavior. I have a good buck on camera twice over the last three weeks. He has been moving quite quickly both times so I am not sure if he is a heavy 3x or a small 4 pt on his backs, but he is mature and has a large neck. Both times I have him on cam have been around 8:30 am on cold sunny mornings. Can I expect the deer to utilize the corridor regularly or is their behavior random? I would love to set up on the corridor but don't have a good pattern and may just be wasting my time if the deer are going to change patterns. Any info about blacktail rut timing, living area size, or travel patterns would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Travis
