Suburban Blacktails
« on: January 03, 2008, 11:26:39 PM »
I was browsing through some of my pics on my computer and found a few nice blacktail buck pics I thought I would share. The quality isn't the best (cheap digital camera and lousy photographer) but some nice bucks. All of these bucks are in a private community with no hunting allowed. I'm sure a few of you will know where I took these. This first one was just bedded in someones yard.

Here's a huge buck hot on the trail of a doe during the rut. I had a hard time keeping up with him and not going on to other peoples yards.

Where these bucks live is surrounded by timber company property and some state land here and there. I know some of these bucks get hunted at some point when they leave the area. Most of these pics are during the rut with the bucks chasing does. I built houses in this area for years and mostly only saw the big bucks during the rut.

If I was to live there, I am sure my bow would be screaming for some action!!
I am glad they have adapted to the houses, but DANG it would be nice to take one of them.  I love that big tall one!

This my be my last one.  :( I look on my other computer for more. I think this is my favorite buck of the bunch, although the pics do him no justice. He was really symetrical and a lot of mass. His width was nice and has good forks and main beam. Enjoy.

Hunterbuilder, is that the Skyline development? Looks familiar but it's hard to tell. Awesome pics of some dandy blacktails.

Not Skyline. Is that in Anacortes? This is farther north.

HB,
you need to go into selling realestate.  I think you could charge double what the market would normally be if there are animals like that on the property.  :guns:  :EAT:
