We are planning a trip in july to a ranch near King City , Ca. to bow hunt Blacktails and were wondering if the deer would be rutting at that time or when they do rut. Here in southern Ca. the deer rut in late sept. or early oct. I beleive they are a type of Blacktail. The fish and game calls them Pacific Hybrids. They look like a Blacktail to me I think they are a little smaller than the ones up north though. Any help would be great. Here is a pic of a Pacific Hybrid from last year.
