Some great Blacktails have been killed this year. A few have been posted on this site. Yours may be the best. Have you got a green scored yet? He is a tremendous buck! Congratulations!

I green scored him at 154 2/8" gross last night, so roughly a 150" gross buck.

That’s amazing. You will sit high in the book. Mine green scored at 138. Do you have any pics of his width? Frontal pics? Congratulations again.

Could you make any sense out of why the deer were being so vocal? Was the buck pushing the does around or was there another buck there?

There is a split on the left G2 that may/may not count but I measured it at 1 1/8". If that's included it's a 6X7 (counting eyeguards and drop tine), gross in the low 150's. He had a doe locked down and there were two smaller bucks circling within 50 yards. A couple fawns were hanging around also, but the vocalizations were coming from the satellite bucks and the mature buck. They were about 20 yard apart and talking back and forth, honestly you wouldn't have been able to hear these deer from further then 75 yards away. I had the satellite bucks at 5 yards but they didn't make me, then the doe and the big buck moved to a window at 7 yards and I was able to sneak an arrow in him. Thank God for tall ferns and no wind.

Drop tine?! What the..... I had to go back and examine the monster a litttle closer. Geeze, what a buck! I love the photo too - I named it "Sundance contemplating (or perhaps overwhelmed by) the trophy buck!"
I've only got one more question - What series of events or clues led Sundance to this particular thicket in the middle of a very large forest. ( in other words - how the heck do you keep finding them (in three thousand words or less.) :chuckle:

My October 27th on the left and my dads forky was in the 25th. Nice little window of good hunting we had.
