What deer?
« on: January 23, 2013, 06:39:43 PM »
Here's a question I haven't seen on a topic!
I would rather kill a big Muley, even though I've never attempted to hunt them!

The biggest challange anyone can ask for is to kill a mature blacktail buck, not talking a small 4 or 3 point but something that scores over 130+. There is simply not a tougher deer to hunt. I love any big buck, but I'm still trying for that trophy blacktail. This one is my best blackie so far, score 117.

Does it give you an error when you try Sundance?

Thats strange, congrats on your bucks though.  Maybe one of the MODS can help out with your uploading of pics

I voted for blacktail but only because that is my current obsession. I could easily change my mind in a year or two and go with mule deer. I love the country that mule deer call home. But I've already killed a decent mule deer (162ish). So I'd love to get a mature blacktail, score is irrelevant, could be just an old, heavy 2 point. I don't know that it will ever happen. I have enough trouble just getting trail cam pictures of them.

Whitetail all the way. You can hunt them in the mountains or in the suburbs. They are America's deer. They are everyones deer. They are perfect.

Here is how this exact poll turned out 5-6 months ago.

I grew up hunting BT's and still enjoy hunting them.  But I voted for mule deer.  I absolutely love to hunt mule deer. 

And a BT doesn't need to score in the 130's to be impressive or old.  One of the most impressive BT's that I have ever seen is a 2x3 with eye guards that a buddy killed and it is on the wall next to a 4x4 BT that scores in the upper 130's and I would shoot the 2x3 over the 4x4 every time.
