Whats the cut off line for blacktail? This picture was taken in the Rimrock unit. Are there cross bucks that far over?

In a heartbeat with a bow, with a rifle on the last day.

I'd take him, I think those big two points with eyeguards are kind of neat.  Most of the deer in that unit are blacktails or cross deer.  Very few muleys in Rimrock unit.

Even though he looks young in the body he could be egressing in antler growth. He has already reached his maxium antler growth and now he's going back down the other way.

I could be wrong, but yea I would shoot him. Even if it was the first few days of the hunt.

I would shoot. Nice deer, no shame here. We are meat hunters, racks are nice, but liver in camp is better! Break out the onions and bacon!!!

 I'd have to second what Jackelope said. In Montana this year, he'd be a shooter on day four or later, but not before then.

depends on the location.. If he is gonna take too much work to get out, then no... If he is a 2 or 3 hour job getting him to the vehicle then yes........
