Congrats on a once in a lifetime monarch blackie and a first class tracking job. We have learned the hard way on the failures of neck shooting animals in recent years and its gut wrenching when there isn't a positive outcome.

Skagit, tried to send you a PM but your inbox is full. I see your photo is being used someplace else on the web and didn't know if you were aware.

The terrain in the background is a clue as to where these guys often hang out.

☝☝☝☝ Yeah. What he said. Makes it extra exciting when you're encountering them where a long shot is 60 yards.

Such a great example of what blacktails can be. Deer like that are rare, but they prove that blacktails aren't all small. That buck was probably walking around at over 250lbs.

Obviously didn't get him out whole so can't know for sure an exact weight but I can tell you after seeing some big ones he was every bit of that! I wish I had thrown a tape around his chest girth
