One of the two biggest blacktails I have actually laid eyes on was right by the Fred Myers on Bridgport over in University Place or whatever that area is over there. Cirque drive and 67th.

That is an absolute toad buck!!! :yike: Thanks for the inspiration. :)

When I used to live in the Oakbrook neighborhood we would allways have bucks, nice BT like this one come in on the golf course to pick acorns, man I wish I was hunting back than.  They used to come all the way to the window at night and looked into the Clubhouse.   :chuckle:

I don't know anything about scoring, anybody care to give a rough estimate of what this guy scores?

Regardless, I would hurry home from work every day if that fellow was hanging on the wall to greet me.

He will make B&C.  Guessing will net around 140ish.

Absolutely beautiful buck!

Very nice buck but I bet he only scores 120 to 130 tops, short tines. Mass doesnt make up the inches like tine length. But that dont mean I wouldnt take him. no shame in my game.

I've seen that buck before! I lived in UP and drove through Steilacoom on my way to the FedEx terminal in Dupont every day. I remember seeing that buck a couple of times at the the edge of town like Snowninja said. Saw a couple other nice bucks, and the occasional coyote, up and down Grandview and Cirque Drive.

The quality of some of the backyard BT's in Western Wa is pretty cool.  That is a great looking buck!!

There is a nice 4 up here on the Sammamish Plateau that wears similar headgear, but less mass than that boy there. Always see him cozying up to somebody's flowers.....

Man, what a dandy blacktail!!! I love big blacktails. I'll say he scores in the 134-137 inch ballpark. Great buck. Thanks for the picture.

One of the biggest blacktail bucks that I have ever seen was sitting in the Pierce College parking lot waiting to go to class (1992). A nice 4x4 like the buck in the picture. The buck came out by the pool building turned and headed up the hill in the brush between the two parking lots. Funny thing was I think that I was the only one who saw him. Other people were walking in the parking lot and all they had to do was look up and see him working his way through the scotch broom. When he reached the top parking lot he came out about fifteen feet from two people. He hunkered down and they never even saw him. Last I saw him he was headed across the upper parking lot through the cars.
