He should get extra consideration for the awesome eye guards.  Don't see blacktail like that too often.  Very cool!

I've been staring at my 116 buck trying to make a comparison.  He's a much better buck than mine, but deductions are a killer.  I'm going to say 124 gross / 117 net.  But, I haven't been close to getting one of these right yet :chuckle:
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Good call bare.hunter, he is a Larch Mtn Buck.  There are a few up on Larch even bigger that I've seen while driving during the off season over the last few years.  The herd is pretty healthy in that area.  My buck had almost an inch of fat on him and I've seen quite a few does with twin fawns this summer.

Ya know... blacktails always concieve twins, except maybe their first pregnancy, its just a matter of whether they both survive or not. Its in their genetics to have twins, survival odds are better, if one dies, then theres another

We spent four days a week scouting that general area this summer.  Definitely some good bucks in there, but man those bucks that live on public access are night dwellers.  You did good finding one in the daylight.  And I have never seen one with eye guards like that!  Seems to be an increasing number of bear in there too.  Wish they would open up the firing range property.  I've spoken with security up there and it sounds like a hunters paradise!  But, even security isn't allowed to hunt it. >:(  I'm thinking I need to find someone willing to take a bribe :chuckle:

 I pretty much have only seen the big bucks at night except on a few rare occasions.   This one was with a 2x3 that I spotted first.  I saw a glimpse of this one as he took off taking the 2x3 with him.  I paralleled them to where I had a small shooting window to the vitals.  I barely saw antler but thought I was shooting the 2x3 since he was trailing.  I was legal to take any deer and would've shot a doe if it was the first to present a shot. He stopped and looked at me, I released, heard the impact, he bucked in the air and bolted through the trees.  I lost visual immediately but heard the running for 5-7 seconds followed by a large crash then silence. It was 27mins before sundown but rainy with dark cloud cover so I didn't see the impact.  I waited 40mins, put on headlamp and tracked him all of 40yds from point of impact to where he did a front flip digging his antlers into the dirt.  Imagine my surprise walking up and counting 6 points on the side not in the dirt when I was expecting 3.  I guess it was the opposite of ground shrinkage.

Awesome buck!! Pretty sure it won't press past the 120 mark. Based on My dads which was 132 and lil larger larger.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

123 before deductions. Gross score is all that should matter in my opinion. Congrats!
