First Blacktail
« on: November 22, 2009, 06:38:02 PM »
Well it's not a monster but its meat in the freezer.  Second time I have hunted for Blacktail.  I usually hunt NE. After an unsuccessful  General Season it's nice not to have tag soup :)

Great BT!  I love the curvature of his......... ummm oh yea horns! 
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

This is by FAR the longest spike blacktail I've seen.  Nice job.  If P&Y had a category for spikes, he'd be way up there in the books!

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Trophy quality is in the eye of the tag-holder.  Please keep your comments respectful.  They took a legal deer in a legal method.  That should be good enough for us as sportsman to support.  The in-fighting amongst ourselves is going to be the death of our sport.  Take the morale High-Road, to quote Keith Warren.

I keep coming back and looking at that spike, and it is so cool!  You should really consider a Euro mount, as a DIY thing.  It would look great up on the mantle.

Well my buddy and I think this deer is an older deer and has reverted back to a spike. I think that can happen but I'm not an expert.  Maybe someone here knows? He is very grey, his hooves are thrashed and curled up alot and his teeth are also very worn.  But who knows??? He was 108lbs dressed out at the butcher.

Definitely a mature blacktail,(a trophy spike indeed), you should be very proud. He could be a regress,but chances are he was a spike his whole life. A good one to cull out of the gene pool.

He would make a great euro-mount.
