Benchleg Buck?

[Woodchuck]

I can not lie, I was told they have big butts.

All this controversy, and the photo is labeled "Mulie"

A bench leg buck occurs when the bench itself isn't heavy enough or the legs aren't fastened to the floor.
Often this problem surfaces when 2much torque is applied to an item in the vise.

Can't stand the term "benchleg."   

 Why? Does the term stud Blacktail sound better

Because it's a made up word that nobody knows where it came from, or why someone would choose to call a blacktail/mule deer cross a "benchleg." Do their legs look different than any other deer? No, they do not. Do their legs look like benches? No they don't.

Yes, I say call them blacktails. Or, if you want, call them mule deer. Just pick one! But a "benchleg?" What the heck is that?

How can you pick one when they are neither/both? They are not fully Blacktail and they are not fully muley.

Then call them what they are- a mule deer/blacktail cross.

But "benchleg" to me is a meaningless  term.

The technical term is cascade blacktail

Wasn't that term invented by whoever came up with the state record book? I'd never heard of it until then.

I kind of like the term benchleg.  So what if it wasn't coined by a biologist and is probably a slang term that caught on over the years?
The fact is that benchleg is the common term used for blacktail/muley cross. Might as well get used to it.  :2cents:

Only in Washington State.

What's Oregon call them?

[Curly]

Same thing in Oregon.  Here is a link to thread from 10 years ago on Ifish.......pretty similar to this discussion.
