I just read an article literally about 10 minutes ago. From the archive of the Columbian news paper. One of the WDFW guys they interviewed claimed that there was a game farm in eastern Lewis Co. that took in orphaned deer back in the late 30s & early 40s. The paperwork they have said they had quite a few orphaned mule deer from the east side. But the suspicion is that they didnt take them to the east side to release them when they matured, but that they were released. That could possibly be one of those exact deer?  :dunno: or a decendant. No matter what it "officially" was or where it was shot, its a freaking pig of a buck based on that rack.

That confuses me.  What is the difference in capes between the two?  The only difference in animals that I am aware of, other than antler size, is the shape and coloration of the tail.

It seems that massive BT bucks can show up just about anywhere, given the opportunity to live long enough to achieve their maximum potential.

I looked all over for a copy of that book a while back and couldn't find one.  It was easy to order a couple copies today.

  I must have typed it wrong or you misunderstood me. The point I was trying to make is there a 0 way to tell whether that is a mule deer or Blacktail just by looking at a set of capped antlers.   Since both animals have the same antler configurations one would need some form of other identification to judge species.

Another old vintage Blacktail with lots of dust.  Killed on the Everett legion golf course in 1942.

That's a dandy, is it yours now?

Amazing how many big racks are hidden away collecting dust.

  I bet there are as many that were left in the field for the mice as there are hidden away in garages.  My grandpa never kept a single rack.  Even his moose he shot in Canada in the late 70's.  It was all about that meat for most of those old timers.
