BT Debate
« on: January 23, 2010, 10:06:14 PM »
Just curious if I can get a debate going here.  This may be my last year hunting in this state and I am still trying to get a "nice" BT, got a couple smaller ones but nothing to impressive.  What do you guys think is the best unit/area for a nice BT?  No honey holes just units or areas, regardless of weapon choice.  I am betting a few folks will say Hancock, Randle etc.  Cast your vote and lets see what we come up with

Way too wet and thick to hunt the west side.  No blackies where I am at.    :dunno:

What is "nice".

A. Would the rack sit in a box in the garage?
Most counties on the westside have these decent bucks.

B. Be put on a plaque?
Look for units with limited access.

C. Full shoulder mount?
Lewis County and south of there.

Every unit has monster Blacktails, you just have to find them. . . It's no easier from one unit to another in my opinion.

Maybe hunt one of those units that you can shoot a decent mule deer and tell everyone it's a huge blacktail?  :chuckle:

If you do your homework, and find them early, this unit has some monsters in it.  However, since most of it is weyerhauser land, there are roads everywhere, and general season it looks like a pumpkin patch. 

I have heard that the South Rainer area has some good ones also, but no experience there.
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.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Yeah, like me, I shot a nice buck in the Grayback and tell everybody it's a blacktail. Everybody seems really impressed!  :)

Seriously I agree with Alan, I don't think there is any one unit that's better than another, not in Washington. If you really want a good blacktail go to southern Oregon or Northern California.

Boone & Crocket call them blacktails, and so do the wildlife departments in Oregon and California. Why wouldn't I? What do you call them? They're definitely not mule deer.

Haha. . . I call them Oregon or California Blacktails. . . They might be genetically the same, but they're different in my book!
