Goldendale Blacktails

[Bofire]

 :)The game dept. says it aint a blacktail cause it is east of the Pacific Creast trail. Lord know they are never wrong, but I wonder how they taught the deer to read the map and game book.??

Great buck!!, I shot a blackie in Goldendale during the modern season. It was the only buck I saw all week and figured it was a nice little 3x3 to take down..we were up in ceadervalley road, a couple miles west of goldedale. Where did you hunt??

Great deer congrats

The deer on the top looks a lot more like a blacktail than the one on the bottom.

Good buck. Some of those buggers might be crossed up with muleys in that area

Yes, all the deer in the Klickitat/Goldendale area are cross-bred with muleys.

GREAT DEER!!

Very nice Bucks, Congratulations!

Yeah, I didn't realize that was one of the "tweener" areas.  That thing screams blacktail all the way from what I can see.  Get him scored for fun's sake.  You know it's a blacktail.   Don't need to see your name in print to know you took a potential book buck.   Great job!!!

We hunt east of Goldendale, east of highway 97 on some private land. Sometimes we hunt 3 creeks too.

Hard to say. The two we got appear to us to be pure Blacktails.  Black tail, smaller ears and horn formation appears to us to be more blacktail than mule deer.  My deer which to me looks more typical of an average blacktail over there was actually taken a few miles more east than my buddies on flat land,

Beauty bucks you've got there!

those are no different from the 30 inch blacktails that get taken in california only difference would be the way boone and crockett classify them that being said those deer and the ones in california are such a mux of blacktail and muley that now there are no pure strain in either place

Great bucks nonetheless. I've hunted goldendale area since...forever. I've seen a boxey 26inch 4x4 muley-looking buck and a smaller 3pt with points coming off the main beam blacktail looking deer in the same push down there. They are a mix, with different characteristics showing up. But who cares, dang nice deer. Check out the post titled "buddies buck from this and his last years buck." Both are from the same area way west of highway 97 and they look totally different. They both had skinny mule deer like tails with black on them, and the racks...anyones guess.
