Here is my MT buck. I hunted him for nearly a week before getting a shot. There are more pics on the Blacktail Specialties FB page.

That is a STELLER Buck

Well I leave work early give the neighbor a call asking about weather, it had stop raining and clearing, you want to go hunting, sure he says. Pick him up go to closest gated road from our homes, and now its getting really sunny and warm (dressed in wool bibs)  :bdid: Walking along thinking hell this just going to be a sweat my ass off see nothing hike . Had almost walked thru the unit when I hear the sounds of something far off going thru the unit, finally got the neighbir attention and point toward the sound, about 20 seconds latter this buck is barreling down on us. Ok I think to myself he has no idea we are here in the road wide open area nice, so I take a bead on him as he keeps coming and let him have it, he stumbles a few steps and stops behind a small tree 20 yard away. Wait a little bit than go toward him he stands up and stumbles around some more than turns to face me angling away, put himdown for good with shoot to the neck. Not my biggest or my smallest Blackie, just happy to have him sense we didn't do our annual trip to eastern WA this year.  :tup:

Empyre,

I love the mass of the antlers on your buck.  Way to go. Thanks for posting; I like seeing big horned WA bucks.

Congrats, man...long time no see.

Killed this guy yesterday at the last few minutes of light, I get a lot of guff about my fancy optics... But they pay off I prove it to my friends time and time again. I hate not getting after the shot photos but I was by myself and it was basically dark by the time I got to him. It's been a while since I've got to load up a deer whole... It wasnt easy by myself! This guy was the fattest buck I have killed before, he was eating well, it was like skinning a bear never seen anything like it.

It was a really tough year for me this year, all my usual spots were void of activity, even does we're hard to find.

Congrats on a nice blacky. That is a fatty buck, should be real good eating. I hate bucks like that, because they are too nice to pass up, even in the general season. Congrats again, mature blacktails are always a trophy.

Thanks guys.  I'll be around more, last couple of years have seen a lot of "real life" going down.  I'm pretty stoked on this buck, it's been a lot of work butchering him out this week.  Taking the trophy down to the taxi tonight.  Anyone feel like meeting up in the N. Sound for some ducks or Snows in the next couple of weeks after elk, I'll be around.
