Goldendale Blacktails

[sss5358]

My buddy and I hunted the Goldendale Washington area.  He ended up with a nice big 5 X 5 and I managed to score a nice 4 X 3.  Lots of deer in the area. Trick is to get permission to hunt private land.  Public land in the area we hunted is pretty scarce.

Nice bucks congrats!

Man that's an awesome buck you got there.  That thing's got to be real close to a book buck.  Good Mass, Great Eyeguards, and very few deductions from what I can see in the pics.  Get him scored.  He might just go 135 B & C.  Congratulations on one hellova buck man!!!!

Nice bench buck !

Nice bucks!  If they were killed in Goldendale they can't be scored as blacktail though.  Still dandy's!

Thanks.

Yes, that is too bad.  Since it is a cross area it can't be scored.  As far as we can tell it is not a cross, black tail, smaller ears. We have been hunting the area for years and for years Washington fish and wildlife had the area scored as Blacktail. Recently they changed that to Mule deer but allow you to choose Blacktail when you go in an report it. It is going be mounted though and my partner and I are convinced it's blacktail. We have not seen any mule deer around the area we hunt in all the years we have been hunting there.

Thanks.

We thought it would be scored around that too.  But, B and C will not score Blacktails from that region as it is a cross area. Even though we are convinced it is a blacktail. But that doesn't bother either my partner or me. It is a memorable deer and a great hunt.
