Beautiful buck, I think I would have been afraid to shoot him until I saw the ass and tail.  I would assume "muley" until then.  Never hunting blackies before, how do you tell in the field with a quick look?  Thought about taking my 12yo out for the late blackie hunt.

Could it be a "bench leg" blackie?  Either way awesome looking buck.

Do you have any pics of the tail area? Still have the hide? It sure looks like a true BT but some of them do cross breed on occasion making some rather nice racks.

He sure is a monster!

I wasn't trying to start a discussion or dispute your awesome buck.  Just wondering how to tell out in the field or does it matter?  Does F&W consider it a blackie if your are west of the Pacific Crest?  Again, nice buck.

That is one great buck, congrats Track-er. You should enter that one in the Hunt-WA horn competition.

I try to post as little as possible, but that buck is every blacktailers dream! Congratulations! You might just owe your buddy a case of Raineer..... o.k. maybe something a little better.

Been meaning to ask about that big cut under his eye. It looks puffy like an older wound.  Still in awe of that rack...wow!

Yea that was a nasty cut,all the way to the bone.When we caped it we checked it out looked to be about a week or so old.He had a small chunk off his nose and slices under his ear and cuts on his neck.I would like to have seen who he was fighting with.

Anything west of the pacific crest trail is considered a blacktail it doesnt matter if it is a pure muley spike in the unit he hunted if it is a buck with a horn on its head its a shooter. That unit 448 is a any buck unit.

There have been several bucks taken in the same area and posted on this site, nobody has questioned any of them being blacktail.

Congrats again Track-er, thats one for the record books.
