Finally hooked up with nice blacktail! It was a long season but a fun one, I saw lots of deer had some chances at nice bucks in the early season just couldn't seal the deal. I decided to hunt some flats for the late hunt and the first day I got to hunt I hit the thick timber. After about an hour of sneaking around a saw a deer looking at me at 40 yards, I saw it was a heavy buck but I thought it was a 2 point so I wasn't going to shoot it. I watched it for maybe a minute and thought to myself, that is a hell of a 2 point I'm shooting it, so i let one fly and heard the wack from my 100 grain wack'em. I waited about 5 minutes and couldn't wait any longer I had to find my buck and about 20 yards there it was laying there with his 3 point side sticking up. I was so glad a didn't pass it up, now i need to decide to mount it or not.?

Man I can't believe you almost didn't shoot it! Great buck. Even if it had only been a 2x2 it would still be a great buck.

Yea you should have it mounted as it is a nice Blacktail, especially with a bow.

Per a conversation with the WDFW Wac'em broadheads are not legal in Washington. The blade has that little notch on the bottom inside edge. I know, it makes no sense.

Your an outlaw. RUN!

Oh btw nice Blackie that you harvested illegally.

Bearhunter · « **Reply #16 on:** December 13, 2009, 08:15:41 PM »

So how is it that Wac Em broadheads are illegal. Ive been checked before and never received any grief over them?

highside please provide proof other than a conversation! i cannot find this in writing any were!

by the way very nice blacktail.

It is unlawful to hunt big game animals with
a broadhead blade unless the broadhead
is unbarbed and completely closed at
the back end of the blade or blades by
a smooth, unbroken surface starting at
maximum blade width forming a smooth
line toward the feather end of the shaft and
such line does not angle toward the point.

That is from the Reg's. The Wac'em doesn't have a smooth, unbroken surface. They considered it a barb. If you look at the broadhead it has that little notch by the shaft.

Also I don't want to jack this guy's thread. We can start a new one in the bow hunting area if you like. But we have spoken to the dumb rules dept. and that head is not allowed.

Trophy Hunter · « **Reply #21 on:** December 13, 2009, 09:51:53 PM »

AHH. The debate over "poached" or "not poached". Good luck with that.
Nice BT.

highside74 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 14, 2009, 07:12:37 AM »

There is no debate happening I was just giving him some ribbing and guy's wanted to know if my info was correct or not.

I don't think poached ever crossed anyone's mind.

Again, please keep the comments to this guy's awesome Blackie. We can start a different thread if you like.

My comments were in fun because most people don't know those broadheads are not legal.

Thanks highside74 for the information I will be changing my broadheads now for sure. What broadheads do you guys like?

SWHunter that is a nice buck, if you don't kill another monster on the high hunt kill that one and we will compare them.
