My buddy saw this in Goldendale Thursday

I'm surprised he hasn't taken down his post about the "blacktail" that he killed. That would be the smart thing to do. Or, admit that he lied.

[boneaddict]

Chalk up another one.

Oh my God!  You could tell that he knows that he is as stuck as a bug on flypaper.  He absolutely knows that that deer is NOT a coastal blacktail it is what we call a benchleg. 

And how about:  I was within two hours of Portland.  If that is the standard a guy could shoot an elk in Montana and claim that he was within two hours of Spokane and by God that makes it eligible to be considered a record book Washington State elk.  How preposterous is that?  What a clown.

No Kidding. It was on the east side of the cascades but it was within 2 hours of Portland so that makes it a coastal Blacktail. Plus it smelled like a Blacktail.

It says: BUILT FORD TOUGH, on the side which we al know that's not right....

What bothers me is he is very adamant about calling it a "Columbia Blacktail"  I think he knew he was stretching the truth quite a bit.
It's a nice buck, just call it what it is. BENCHLEG.  And Goldendale is not coastal.

P.S. I've been known to smell like a blacktail.

You simply cannot live and hunt in Washington or Oregon and not know that the chances of finding a coastal blacktail in Goldendale are slim to none and slim has gone the way of the dodo bird and the passenger pigeon. 

If this were not the first time I had seen someone trying to pull off a variation on this same scheme.....   
If this same individual had not tried to claim that an elk shot east of I-5 was a State record Roosevelt....
If this outfitter did not have a reputation of being sketchy....

You can see where I am going with this.  Call me less than generous if you want, but I kinda' tend to not allow "benefit of the doubt" when doing so stretches credulity to the breaking point.

I kind of liked his show. This is disappointing.

Washington — 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.

Mapquest can't locate Cook Wa, but it can locate Zipcode 98605

From Mapquest:

1hr 11min 56.7mi from Zip Code 98605 -> Goldendale. 
1hr 22min 65.2mi from Portland -> Zip Code 98605
2hr 4min 110.0mi from Portland -> Goldendale

I would like to think I have a pretty good sniffer on me, but I think I would be hard pressed to be able to detect whether I was sniffing a blacktail or a mule deer unless I detected cedar or doug fir or fern on the former and sage or some such on the latter.  But that doesn't mean that I can't sniff out a BSer and what we have here is a B&C class example.

Honesty and integrity goes a long ways as a hunter in my book and he seems to be missing that point! These self proclaimed expert or pro hunters will say or do anything to stand out in the crowd!

Why are sportsman separated at heart why should we defend our selves from each other. We all have a deer tag and we are a free blooded American who has the freedom of choice on how to use it. We need to stand untied! Who's with me?

Oh for God's sake - give it up.  You have been caught.   

What the heck does any of this have to do with him being found out to be a four-flusher?   Is he saying that all sportsmen have an obligation to defend the indefensible?  If not, what is he trying to convey?  We all may have a deer tag and I guess I could use my deer tag and shoot a three point mule deer w/brow tines that is fairly common in Wenatchee and take the antlers to a taxi and tell him that the rack came off a monster of a blacktail that I shot and it sure smelled like a blacktail and I am an expert blacktail sniffer if ever there was one.  Mount these up for me and by the way I need a new cape because the other one was shot through w/a bullet hole.   

Once I get it home and have it hanging on my wall and another hunter comes by to take a look and he says:  Hey I saw you in Wenatchee .  In fact I saw a video you posted online and that buck was in two feet of snow and was that not Badger Mountain in the background?  Do I come back and say:  Wenatchee is home to Puget Sound Coastal blacktails dontcha' know?  Why it is only two hours drive from Everette to Wenatchee dontcha' know? 

And this jerk just doesn't know when to put the shovel down and stop digging.

He's driving a Coastal Chevy.

Maybe in his next hit DVD combo pack he could supply us dip skips with a scratch and sniff.

I always stand "untied" with my fellow hunters.

Also, I had to wonder what is a "free blooded" American?
