Nice island blacktail for you to see. 5x4 if you include the eye guards for 7 total points.
My buddy Jeff nailed it with a 12 gauge first thing Saturday morning. He used an old Ithica Deer Slayer with a Federal True Ball slug. Probably a 60 yard shot and the deer took off another 100 or so yards after the hit. Liver and partial lung shot, so he didn't go right down. All in all a tough hunt. No gimme at all. Not the biggest plot of land and patience is required. There were a lot of nice deer out there and we have been averaging 1 a year between us for the last few years.
First a few shots of some rubs...

I had to pose with his deer as well:

Big bodied dude that was a bit beat up from brawling...
