Blacktails

[Titan-1]

Here are a couple blacktails I have been watching for the last three years. (Spot,) the 2pt with the white spots on his side has been a 2pt for the last three years, You think he will ever get any bigger?    The 3pt was a small 4pt last year with a whitetail frame, and I'm not positive I have ever had a pic of the other 2pt for sure, I'm going to have to do some digging to check. Any way, I'm just hopping my wife will get a shot at one this week!!! We will see. Good luck to you all this season!

Cool, photos....thanks for sharing. I'd shoot that first one. No, I don't think spot will gain much in antler growth...maybe body size.

Those are some nice blackies.  I love the crap in the 3pts horns.  He looks pissed at your camera

Here are a couple more pic's of them from the last couple years. Spot has not changed much. The 3pt went from a 3pt to a 4pt back to a 3pt.

It's a candy apple block, I put it around the apple trees (with a few extra apples) and when the apples were gone the deer kept coming back for the block. I don't have one now but probably should go pick one up  .

Having lived in an hunted BT deer since the '70s, I can say that some don't ever get past 2 or 3 points per side. In many areas, it is extremely rare for them to make it to a 4 point. One main reason is because rain washes out nutrients from the plants. This makes it hard for them to get enough of the right kind of nutrition to build mass on their racks. I have read in hunting magazines that they can die on a full stomach from mal nutrition due to too much rain. I've actually seen this happen to fawns in SW Oregon. In certain years, dozens of them will be laying dead out in the open fields. If it wasn't so brushy here, I'm sure we would witness that here too at times.

Spot has *censored*ty genes, kill him before he spreads them around!

thats what you wanna see on your trail cam

Love the pic with the ground blind in the back.  It appears you have picked a good spot.  Looks like you should shoot the bigger one before it too is a two pt.

Better kill spot before he goes back to a spike

Better kill spot before he goes back to a spike 

   If I could ever see them during the day I would shoot either of them at this point
