Best guess P&Y and B&C scores on this blacktail?
« on: October 20, 2013, 04:25:04 AM »
A co-worker got this beast on the last day of season less than 15 minutes till the end of shooting light. It is at his taxidermist right now and he should be getting an official verdict of its score soon. Anyone have a good guess on what he will score? Not a bad way to get back in the field, he haddnt hunted in almost 5 years.

Nice buck with good mass and neat eyeguards. You don't see them like that very often!

On the border of private and timber lands on the edge of the battleground washougal border. Would come into the apple trees in another co-worker's back yard. He the one with the property is primarily a meat hunter so he could never bring himself to hold out for this guy. He has trail cam pics of one that is taller with about the same eyeguards but not the extra point on the other side.

Thank you for the kind words and estimate on his size.  I sure have no clue.  I've been hunting for 20 years and not only was this my first buck with a bow,  it was my first ever bigger than a forked horn and my first Blacktail buck. It was the first deer to give me a clean ethical shot in a number of years.  25yds through the heart and broke the opposing shoulder.  He ran 40yds fast and crashed hard.  Pope and Young minimum is 95 to get in the book and SCI is 85.  Curious to find his score out.  Think I'll have to move on to whitetails and muleys now.

Great buck.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
