B&C BT Buck? - I would haveta' say he'll probably not make it

[JDHasty]

I gave him a good sniff w/my certified and recently calibrated blacktail sniffer and this is not a mule deer, this is not a whitetail deer - this is a columbia blacktail deer and if you doubt me... consider this he is w/in a two hour drive of Portland OR  - just so long as you are traveling betw midnight and 04:00 and there isn't any traffic. 

All kidding aside, he is not that far from where I am currently sitting typing this.

Looks like a BT to me? Still packin or was this taken a while ago? The similar buck by my house already has 4-6 inches of new growth.

That was a couple months ago.  Forgot I had them - I have not seen him in a few weeks

B&C?  100% No  P&Y maybe

  My guess is he is between 100" - 105"

Who knows?  Maybe this year he'll put on a bunch of mass and grow the tines out more.  I don't think there's any hope for improving the inside spread though. 

Nice buck JD. He's a shooter every day of the week for most hunters.  He doesn't seem to be the wily old buck I envision when I think of big old Blacktails though.   He's more likely 100% nocturnal only for sleep, then wakes up to eat the neighborhood weeds in the sunshine every morning.  Must not be too much hunting pressure in your hood.   

A tree stand on that nearby utility pole should do the trick nicely.

The "2 hours from Portland" thing will live on forever!! I love it. Jim dug his own grave, freakin bonehead.
