I would guess either a blackie and mulie mix, or a columbian whitetail? :dunno:  maybe?... I have heard of the occasional whitetail on the westside though. :dunno:
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

Grew up in Ohio and have seen lots of WT flags. Have lived in western Wa for 22 years and seen enough BT flags for my liking. Looks the same at a glance. Have seen BT bounce/bound as well as flat out run. I don't think that any one species does the same actions/reactions all of the time. More like "almost all WT flag when alarmed", or "very few BT will flag when alarmed".

I live in Lewis County and 20 years ago was laughed at while hunting Winston Creek Area down by Kidd Valley because I thought that I saw some whitetail deer and didn't know if they were legal, same thing,... Blacktail flag.

also a bench deer is a cross between a Mule deer and a Blacktail, resulting in less tail,more butt, so there wouldnt be any flag.

i have seen blacktails flag and they look like whitetails when they do it

Me too, and I have seen some blacktails with some really long tails too. More like a whitetail.

Have seen blacktails flag hundreds of times.

my guess is you saw a blacktail. i have seen them flag numerous times as well. I also hunt and scout the winston unit all year, as well as most others in lewis co. and have yet to see a whitetail. the only place i've seen bench bucks, or mulies, is up in the goat rocks and they are few and far between.
