Anyone care to guess on score.  He looks quite a bit wider than last year and his back forks are a bit better. I am never able to find his sheds.

Solid 130   Would look real nice with my other blackeys on the wall.  Oops I forgot I ran out of wall space.

I was wondering if he was going to show up again. I will make sure to let the air out of his lungs this year

He is a great buck, and I would agree - north of 130. Can't say that he looks very old though; I would expect growth when you get him next year. It seems that Blacktail always look young though, so who knows. Good luck.

Even during the rut I would only get pics of him at night. I saw him with four doe the last day of late archery.  5 1/2 by my math, he started to put on some inches on year five.  I do not think I can shoot another deer. He has my number and seems to always be one step ahead, every time I moved to take another pic he flinched but didn't run away.

Looks really young you did the right thing and let him mature  :chuckle:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

He'll be even better next season, but I know the feeling your going through.

I would say gross 125-130" his back fork on the one side is a leak weak other wise he would be 135" -140" in my guess.  He does have good width and mass next year he would be a real stud.  Can't wait to see him with your tag on him next year.  Try feeding him apples all winter and some mineral licks...

I feel for you. I have had the same thing going on for four years, nice buck shows up right after late buck by 2 or 3 days. One year it was the following morning.

Beautiful buck. Im guessing 125 to 135. Have you thought about setting up a horn trap. He'll be dropping soon
