Huge Cascade Blacktail Down (pics)- 4x3 with eyeguards
« on: October 24, 2013, 06:27:21 AM »
This past weekend I finally connected on a Big Boy. I've never killed one even close to this size.

I shot him just before last light after a 3 hr sit. 5 or 6 does popped out of the reprod 200 yards below me then this guy came out chasing. I had some serious buck fever on this one. He was shot not far from the B&C blacktail boundary but on the wrong side of the line. Green score is 135 1/8 gross, 126 net.

He was taken in the same clearcut I've seen 5 bears in in this year, including the one I shot in August, so I decided to pack him out solo that night as I didn't want to donate one to the critters. It was a little bit creepy but rewarding.  I didn't get back to camp until midnight.

I had a multi-season tag and had passed on many deer earlier in the year including a decent 2x3 blacktail with my bow at 10 yards, which in a normal year, I would have taken without hesitation. Glad I waited.

Not to start a benchleg vs blacktail battle, I was going with the NW Big Game definition when I called him a Cascade Blacktail, because that's where he would fall in their books.

Calling him a benchleg would be fair as well but the deer where I hunt have mostly Blacktail features, this guy was just a whopper.  You would have to go many miles east from where I was hunting to find any mule deer.

Either way, I'm still stoked!!!!!
