Here's a Blacktail I found last year that might hit 150". Only one way to find out for sure .



That guy is north of 150. Masher!

it could, hard to tell with out a facing view. score includes width measurements.... definitely "tall " enough.. typical vs non typ also score differently, you loose score for lack of symmetry on a typical.. non typ, you add everything, no deductions. certainly B&C (+135)

Well, he wouldn't be a blacktail by B&C standards anyway.

Here's another one. Same 'hood.





Not sure if he'd be 150, I assume not because he's a 3x, but still a great buck I'd be thrilled to have a chance at.

I love Blacktails and Sitka Blacktails as trophies because it is so hard to get a mature buck and I like the color which makes an awesome mount. Mule deer I think is the best to hunt because there is so many nice deer especially during migration.

Holy smokes jackalope he's wide!! Alot of you have seen the pic's from the nice big BT in my grandma's yard from a few years ago. Hes probably gone by now. A couple years ago we saw a nice 3 by at 10 yards. Hopefully those genes are still circling.
