hello,
i am really new to this site. i have hunted all my life but fishing has been more my speciality. i have always tagged out blacktail hunting but i have only shot 2 huge buck, most are just average sized . i shot a deer this year that i am confused over. it had a massive horn that was very heavy and nobby and on the other side he had a spike,a 2 point,another spike and a toe head that was barely breaking the hair in the middle of it's head.
has anyone ever heard of or seen anything like this in a blacktail. or does anyone know what might have caused it? he didn't appear to have any injuries and the horns had seperate crowns. any ideas?

I would do a SHoulder mount and I would have Bucklucky do it

Cool buck, I have a set of blacktail horns like that and have probably seen anout 8 bucks like that dead. I have mounted 3 of them. Cool buck!!

Very neat looking buck! I have seen and mounted several deer like that. Most of them have been Whitetail.

The deer was probably injured at one time on that side causing the pedical to be damaged or split. Resulting in the different beams growing out of the same area.

I have read this as well. When a deer gets injured, it messes up their horns.

i am getting him mounted.

i was wondering if it could be genetic. i heard of a buck about 4 miles from there that was suposedly almost identical to mine, same side messed up and everything. at first i thought maybe an injury{ i have heard people say that too} but to have a toe head coming out of his forehead makes me think genetics, hell i have no idea but i thank you guys for your opinions.

Have BuckLucky mount your beard!

Here is a Whitetail From Georgia that I mounted probably 5 years ago. The beam on the deers right side that looks normal is growing behind the mess of tines. It also had a mess of stickers on the back side of the rack. I believe this was 16 point by Eastern standers (counting all points over 1" in length).

Fishpimp · « **Reply #21 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:44:18 AM »

damn that is a nice whitetail!

here is a picture of the buck i shot 2 years ago.{ sorry about the nasty "dead deer in the shop" photo, i didn't have any "in the field photos"} he was about 100 yards away from that crazy blacktail i shot this year. i have found a big congregation of bucks in a really small area. i saw 9 deer this whole season. 3 does and 6 bucks, 5 of those six bucks were trophy blacktail. i am new to hunting "big blacktail" but is it normal to find a bunch of big boys in such close quarters with each other? i saw all six in about a 1/2 mile area.

gnarly buck, but that beard steals the show. Wow, that is impressive. You should start a topic for the coolest beard.

I think it was a relitive of Longtatlaws bear.

Big bucks are like big largemouths. Where you find one, is likely where you'll find more. Let's get together and I'll take a closer look, just to be sure

Sounds like you've got half the battle figured out - finding out where they live. Good genetics and age will grow racks like the one you're holding there. Damn fine buck!!

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #28 on:** January 14, 2009, 12:18:22 AM »

Bucklucky what happened to the rack in your pic? Looks like someone shot the antler or it fell of the wall.

bucklucky · « **Reply #29 on:** January 14, 2009, 08:01:32 AM »

The dude was 16 when he killed it back in the 70's and shot it in the horn , knocked it goofy then finished it off . That is a monster blacktail. It is like 20 tall and would have been close to 22 wide if it matched up. Its way bigger than it looks , trust me

i find it kind of funny people keep bringing up the beard, it isn't that big. but that's cool

anyway the more i cruise this site the more excited i get. i need a lobster bib to keep from droolng on my shirt when i see some of these critters. way cool site!
i just got into bear hunting last year{shot 2 } and i really enjoy all the bear info and pictures too. it looks like a bunch of cool guys on here.

Yeah, I know what you mean. There are some real experts here on this site. I moved back to Washington 8 years ago and decided that I wanted to kill a big muley (I remember people doing it fairly often back in the 80s when I was a kid). Turned out that the mule deer habitat had been declining the whole time I was gone in the Army. By this time last year I was thouroghly convinced that there were no big mule deer left in Washington State. Then I found this site. Photo threads from guys like Boneaddict showed me that I am just looking in the wrong places and not scouting hard enough.
Hope you enjoy yourself and learn as much as I have...
