Great blackie IB!

For my benefit, what about IBs pic tells you its a blacktail? I see a mule deer laying on the ground. Not arguing, truly confused how people can tell by looking at pictures like this.

Thanks.
Looks like all Mule Deer to me ...never seen a blacktail with ears that long  :dunno: :twocents:



For one, the antlers.  Compare size, shape, and color with mule deer.  Similar, but pretty obvious differences.

IMHO the antlers look like mule deer and body looks like blacktail.   :dunno:

It's hard to tell sometimes, but IMHO IB's is blacktail. Now look at Deer Slayer's what do you think that is?  :chuckle: I know what Boone & Crocket would probably say about it.  :chuckle:
   Sorry if my photo caused any confusion, This buck is 100% mule deer. I don't have any picts of the back. This is my first mule deer ever and he stunk horrible from rutting but tastes great, and thanks for all the nice comments.

The grass threw me off thought it was a high mountain meadow.  :chuckle:

I agree B45.  My inbox had a couple SMOKER muleys in it from this weekend.  :yike:   I was beginning to regret notching my tag. :yike:

I saw a couple really nice ones go by on HWY 20 yesterday.

Plus my neighbour saw a big one just didn't know how to get closer to get it.

This little Greenbluff buck was my first archery kill.  I was done for the season and packing up my blind and loading up my truck when he appeared on a hillside right at dusk.  45 yd shot to the boiler room ( 90% luck  :)  ). Congrats to all who posted pics here!!

2 for 3 this year in the opener (of course I was not one of the two). My wife shot a nice 2x3 in quite a bit lower elevation than we are used to and her dad shot a nice 3x4 up in the thinner air. Great early dear season overall........ and I guess I am waiting for late whitetail now.

I tagged out today. Have been hunting in the 448 near home.  I had been hunting with my Dad from wed-sat. He almost stepped on a large bedded buck, but both were  surprised to see each other. No shot was fired. I saw only one deer and that was this mornings buck. Took the 50 yard shot in steep country, aimed for the neck and it was over. I was 2 miles in behind a gate but had a game cart in the truck. After dragging it some distance, it became apparent I was going to be able to do this myself. Reinforcements were needed and they came. After retrieving the cart, the long slog up to the area began and it took 3 of us and a long rope to get my buck to the road and on the cart.  My largest blacktail to date.  Just wish my Dad could have been there with me.
