Yes. If it's got a black strip down the tail, it's got some degree of blacktail in it.  :twocents:

Amazing! I've looked at these pictures of that buck a hundred times. I've never once, looked at the tail.

That and his location , plus lots of mass, not a typical wide rack of a mule deer for his age class.

Bone if that is benchtail(which I believe you) that's essentially the holy grail right there.

Amen to that and if he survives until next year, has CRAZY potential, especially for mass. (younger buck)

Got any tail picks, plus what’s the general area?

I have an ass shot of him on here somewhere.  I cant see pics on my work firewall.  Probably in the FB thread.   I took 2000 photos of him so I am sure I have one.     East slope of cascades where there are Benchlegs, especially wintertime.
