Some black tail in Tacoma?
Really?
Quite a few actually. But a lot of people don't see them. You know how that is, you can be showing some people a herd of elk in a spotting scope and they still don't see any. The deer move about pretty surreptitiously and you have to be aware and looking for them to see them. I live just south of Proctor and my mother lives just north of Proctor and my sister lives over by the Stadium district and my mother spends days in her home and nights at my sister's, so I am driving her that way and myself back to my home shortly after sundown quite often.
This guy was a bruiser, a trophy that anyone would be proud of. He was absolutely raunchy smelling last night.
I'll tell you exactly where I saw him last night so you can take a look at Google Earth and you will see why he was there. He was just to the east of N 34th and N Stevens. But I have seen him as far south as S 12th & Proctor. There is a fairly substantial herd of blacktails all through the north end right now. The population kinda fluctuates over the years and seams to me anyway to be at a peak right now.
