Big Old Blacktail getting Older.....
« on: December 05, 2012, 04:21:27 PM »
This buck showed up last year during a two week time period and disappeared the rest of the year.  Was delighted to see him again this year, during the same time frame.  He's looking a little older and a little more haggard.  Maybe he's getting lazy in his old age as he presented a daylight photo opp while last year he did not.  Antlers even look a little smaller this year.

The daylight photo really gives this guy justice as to just how big he is.

that is a damn fine blacktail sir, he looks a little skinny in the last pic, maybe you could start feeding him some sweet colb with molasses and fatten the bad up for next year  :tup:

That's funny because he's been going through about 10lbs of apples every night!

Yeah I have a buck on camera this past week that looks like he's coming out of the rut and has trimmed down a bit and just gorged on all the apples.
