Well, I got skunked this year, but my favorite hunting partner scored on this nice 5x4 Blacktail. Not much of a story to it. He walked across a trail in front of us about 75 yards and stopped. First shot hit too far back, but solid. He ran straight up a cliff face and turned around to look at us and she hammered him. He fell right down the chute and broke his skull plate all up and tore the cape around the neck and ears. Drug him down the the road, gutted him and threw him in the truck. Not bad for a day we were not going to hunt and just went out on a whim.

Great looking BT. Congrats to the wife.

Yeah. It was a pig. I was kicking myself for letting it be her day to be the shooter! Never expected to see anything. Now I have to go out and get her her own rifle as she does not want to share anymore.

Beautiful animal, way to go. It is great to hear your Wife gets out with you, can sure remove some of the arguments some other hunters have with their spouses

I think she deserves a really NICE rifle!

What a pig! That has got to be one of the heaviest blacktail I've seen.

Probably a general season buck since the antlers are already mounted and on the wall.

great buck!

DeKuma · « **Reply #23 on:** November 24, 2009, 08:29:17 AM »

Yes, it was a general season buck. She shot it on October 30th at 3:45 pm if that helps.
