Blacktail bucks don't weigh squat

[bucklucky]

WOW! I guess horse meat is supposed to be pretty good?! Its al loaded loaded up .

I get on the website to learn more and improve my skills to get big mature bucks.  I don't mind hearing of others size up their deer.  Let the thread evolve just like a conversation moving forward.  Some hunters hunt for meat and some are into the sport of getting the wiley 6 year old dear.  I also take a moment to give respect and thanks to big and small game.  That's healthy.

My fault is when a conversation starts to go to BS, I usually either end it there, or if I am close enough to the person, I call BS and we move on.  Thats pretty much where I am at with this.  I called BS and now I am moving on.  The rest of you can get out your bathroom scales or charts.  Personally I am going to look at some pics of some big deer and enjoy them, such as the hawg in the Teanaway, or the monster from the Methow.

Last hawg I saw was in the Minneapolis airport eating at Burger King...
I'd post a picture of her but everyone here would request I be kicked off the site.

Well hopefully you didn't run up behind her with a tape measure and measure the spread. 

or ask her to step on the scale.   Either might have got you killed.

 I think over the Holidays we all just need to
 A) Realize that we in our mid thirties, or younger have a lot to learn about the outdoors (myself included!) and need to keep expanding our knowledge base and experience level always.
-and
 B) Relax and enjoy our friends, families and hunting experiences and be thankful for what we have, that's all that's important at the end of the day!!  !!!

I get on this site because most of my friends and family are tired of me talk about deer hunting.  It's all I think about 90% of the time until after I take a week off for whitetail late season.  Then I finally get it out of my system and start thinking about snow skiing.  If I were you I'd be flying high as a kite right now.

Here is a picture of my buddy with the blacktail that I shot last year. My friend weighs 210 lb. The deer is bigger than him. I agree that you MUST weigh them to get the correct weight. Bottom line is who gives a rats azz!

[Palmer]

Well, I've past up on a few that were small.  I don't usually hang spikes up on my garage, I wait a year or two for him to get bigger.  Besides isn't there more sport in coaxing out the trophy bucks, the little ones are easy.  You can walk right up to them, even if they're whitetails.

 Nice buck again Kent hunter, glad I missed out on the GR-A tag this year afterall....

 Got my meat back from Stewart's today, 102lbs processed off my buck. According the all the butcher chart's I can find, with an error margin of 10-15lbs, the buck was between 224 and 260lbs. Pretty broad range but gives a ballpark anyways.

[Kent Hunter]

Keep putting in for it Dman. It's a awesome area to hunt. Plus as you know, you can put the hammer down on a cat or a bear if you see one in there.

when they're tame you can...
