Just missing a whitetail, but I have spent very little time chasing whiteys. Not sure I want to either. :dunno:

I've shot all three, I grew up hunting Blackies in Skagit Co and have taken about 15 of them plus around a dozen Mulies & 3 whitetails. I need a Blacktail worth mounting so I can have all 3 on my wall of death. :rockin:

My first deer was a White Tail taken over by Curlew. I then took a few Black Tails. I have since then added 3 Muleys to the mix.  :IBCOOL:

wow lots of whitetail hating! i don't fancy myself a whitetail hunter, and i really don't like hunting them but i have 2 ferry county bucks on my wall, both trophys, my best is in my avatar... i know there total crackheads and run for 3 days nonstop when twig breaks 3 counties over but you gotta love a big long-tined whitey! also i could really care less about a trophy blacktail (unless it was high book) just too small i guess, or maybe its hunting them in mossy rain soaked ferns and underbrush... i dunno.

They are not so small either.  They are the hardest to hunt I believe.  We have killed bucks well over 200lbs.  A buddy shot one about 6 years ago that was pushing 250lbs.

I think the terrain they live in makes them a little harder to hunt than mule deer and whitetail. Its really thick and really wet and really steep-at least the areas i hunt. I have never tagged a black tail deer-only mule deer, but theres a part of me that loves hunting blacktails on a stormy/drizzly fall day.

Got em all and P&Y qualifiers in each species.  Also have a couple of sub-species.  Cascade blacktail and muley/whitetail cross.  I need to get my Mt. Adams benchleg scored someday.

i was refering more to antler size than body size, the 3 point i shot was a pig, made his horns look even smaller! :chuckle:

I have them all.  Have two muleys on the wall out of the several, would love to get a good whitey and Blackie for the wall.

Taken numerous blacks, but none worthy to mount, and taken three whites, no worth mounting.

Maybe this is the year......

Only thing I need from Washington big game is Goat, Sheep, Moose, and Cougar.  Unles you count Wolf and coyote.
