Well.....not to be outdone by the "serial killers"....lol. Today I went out and shot my best blacktail to date. I just got home and have to head up tomarrow to get the rest of him. Hunted most of the day in the mid-elevation seeing alot of pre-rain sign but nothing fresh. So I decided to head up high and on top thinking the deer did not like the water roar from the drainages and also it was just drier on top. I crept down an old skid road and jumped a doe....crept another 40 yards and spotted a body with its head down. I could tell it was a buck. It seemed like forever with his head down but when he lifted it.....he went down. 25 yds. Hes a great buck for this area. His body wasnt that large and he was still a fairly young buck. Heres some pics!

That is one fine Blackie if you ask me. Great job. I hope to find one like that this weekend.

Right on Nels, but I gotta ask, "what's up with the 3x4's today.

Makes me wish I had gone out, but then with the freezer going belly up...

Congrats.

Its rare in this area to see a true 4x. Most of the big ole bucks are just huge 3x's. NO FREEZER!

Time to pony up for a new one billie or just become a vegetarian

Becoming a vegetarian just might be cheaper in the long run.

Awesome buck btw!

I know produce is going up, but I wouldn't have to drive all over the hills, buy ammo & gear.

Well I just took him out to Charlies Taxidermy aka "bucklucky" house on the skook. Hes a class act.....and that bull he killed is just plain out of this world. We found two porcupine quills in my bucks nose. Some bucks are just to damm horny for their own good:chuckle:
