25 WA blacktail

Phenomenal frame on this blacktail, congrats! What are your thoughts on his age? Pics can be deceiving but that face makes me think he’s not to his prime yet.

@skagitsteel

I'm nearly 100% certain he's 4.5, so I'd say in his first prime year based on previous bucks I've watched grow.

Thanks for the response. That was my guess looking at him as well. Awesome buck, congrats again!

Congrats @JakeLand!  Maybe not your biggest but will still taste good.  Good luck in Montana.

Kodiak Island Sitka Blacktail. :P  Harvested November 2nd. Now on to late buck since I missed the last week of the regular deer rifle season in WA.

Everyone lives off the land.  Some of us simply have more fun doing it.

I dont know much about it, but from what I have heard, that looks like a dang good body size for a sitka blacktail. Nice job!
