WHITETAIL 2006
MULE DEER 2004
BLACKTAIL 2009

im really going to stir the pot now. i do believe #3 was determined to be a bench leg  so where do they fit in

[WAPITIHUNTER]

My brother killed this whitetail only because it jumped up at 10 yards and then stopped to look back 20 yards away giving him a shot opportunity.

NOT THAT SMART IF YOU ASK ME.

i have never hunted white tail so i can say much, but from what i have see on here is somewhat two different questions, what are harder to find, and which are harder to kill. it seems that people are saying that the blacktail are harder to find, but not as weary once confronted, but the whitetail are easyer to find but, more elusive once alerted. this is jsut the opinion that i got, cant wait to hunt wt to find out firsthand.

touchy subject? or just reaffirming what i called it?

[Chewack Slayer]

I Don't know much about blacktails but I know a mature whitetail buck is elusive and hard to hunt during non rut, unless you almost step on them the suckers wont move. In the rut they seem to be pretty easy to locate, but you have to have a draw tag where I'm from to get a chance at a nice whitey!

Mature blacktail.

Your opinion definitely counts.  Post a pic of your big WT AND big blacktail!

(I said your opinion counts... not that it's correct) 

As long as I know I'm right... that's all that matters!

What do you know...you live on "the coast"

Hmmm how many shows are they killing big blacktail,or how many shows hunting blacktail.

[EastWaViking]

how many shows are they actually hunting period?   


BTW that argument doesn't hold water, there are many million more whitetail in the US than there are blacktail. (how many musk ox hunting shows have you seen, not very many... is it because Musk Ox are so smart? I don't think so.)  Most hunting shows are ran by a bunch of lazy ego maniacs who hunt ranches and feeders, and are more interested in selling their sponsors products than actually hunting the way most of us do.

I agree 100% with that comment but with that being said I've seen a good number of "hunting shows"  hunting blactails. Mostly it's down in Oregon or northern Cal.. I do think the blacktails in washington are harder to hunt because of the thickness of the country. And if you throw hunting on public lands in with the mix....well it can be pretty nasty. As for which one is harder to hunt or which one is smarter........ .

So it's definetly BT.... They're not stupid enough to live in places like that...
