Awesome!  That is a great buck, he looks tasty!   :)  I would have shot him in a hart beat!  I hope to do that hunt next year if I have time.
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

To any of you who are considering hunting blacktails in the San Juans.  Provided you can obtain a place to hunt, I highly encourage you to do it.  Although the deer are not huge and for the most part do not have very big antlers, there are a ton of deer and unless you are waiting for a big trophy you are pretty much garunteed a deer.  Every now and then you you will happen into a nice buck.  I have hunted in the San Juans for 4 years now and it is a meat hunters paradise.

First, nice job. 

I also live on a small island in the San Juans and have discovered that a two year old buck (and mature doe) will yield about 30-35 pounds of meat, a three year old hits the mid forties and a four year old I got last year provided 54 pounds of meat.  If you are meat hunting, let the bucks grow up (not bagging on you Oneshot).  Looks like yours was maybe a three year old, we have a tall spike just like that that was smaller last year (one antler bends forward, the other to the back so he is recognizeable).

They are good eating though.....

The bigger the island, the bigger the deer tend to be as well.

Congrats!

Not to threadjack, but speaking of San Juan Island's deer.... I was on Orcas' island this past weekend and saw a group of 3 bucks around 9:00p on my way back to our cabin from my sister-in-law's wedding.  This was the smaller of the three bucks.  I had a few adult beverages this evening so I feel fortunate to even have gotten a pic off from the passenger seat of the car  :)
