Been awhile since we had a good dedicated blacktail thread on here. I love the pics on these threads. So for the poll question lets just stick with Washington deer that are at least a 100 inches. And post as many pics as possible.

I have shot a 3 or 4 point in that like that.
23 (17%)
I shot 2 of them like that.
13 (9.6%)
I shot 3 of them like that.
9 (6.7%)
Got 4 or more of them.
15 (11.1%)
I got at least one that scores so high the book minimum is for the small ones!
4 (3%)
I have hunted them but never got one that size.
71 (52.6%)

Great video Shane (and awesome buck).  I first saw that a few months back just browsing YouTube.

Link it's posts like yours that almost make me hate posting pictures and stories. I know people are going to have there different opinions. But I'm very sure that most people on this forum already know that I-5 is the boundary for Columbia blacktail ad Cascade blacktail. But with that being said I can tell you this I have never seen a mule deer anywhere close to where I harvested my buck.
I didn't mention your buck. Your picture only shows a head. Where did you get that? And by the way I-5 isn't the columbian blacktail boundary, its basically the crest of the cascades. Its kind of hard to describe without a map, but it runs down the spine of the cascades to Mt. Rainier park, along the west boundary of the park, then south.

"Beginning at the Washington-British Columbia border, the boundary line runs south along the west boundary of North Cascades National Park to the range line between R10E and R11E, Willamette Meridian, which is then followed directly south to its intersection with the township line between T18N and T17N, which is then followed westward until it connects with the north border of Mt. Rainier National Park, then along the north, west and south park boundaries until it intersects with the range line between R9E and R10E, Willamette Meridian, which is then followed directly south to the Columbia River near Cook"

You can find historical maps online which show the township boundaries mentioned between NCNP and MRNP, and last time I looked it is east of the eastern border of MRNP.

There's definitely a grey area all along the western slope of the cascades. I don't think 1-5 should be the boundary, but I think the crest is a bit far east. We all know there are cross deer all up and down the cascades on the west side, and east side for that matter.

What would make you possibly think he was referring to your buck? There are no pine trees or oaks in any of your pics. Why so defensive? Beautiful bucks by the way.

I apologize I believe when I wrote that I confused myself with the Boone and Crockett Roosevelt elk boundary I believe.? Sorry about that my bad. You are right the Pacific crest trail is really the boundary line. I know either way Boone and Crockett doesn't recognize Cascade blacktail as a category. But with that being said all the bucks posted are amazing in there own right! I truly am sorry for posting something before getting my facts right.

Thanks. I know some people hate boiling them, but sometimes they come out pretty good :tup:

I've had good success boiling them. You just have to make sure you don't leave them in the hot water too long, the bone starts to come apart.
