No "true" blackies in klickitat, in fact, no dear at all.  We dont have any game here.  Actually, they're here, you just have to look for them.  I've sen 3 shooters so far this year.

Most of the deer in the general area are now mostly blacktails from Hwy 97 or approx. there abouts West. That being said they do have their own classification for pope and young and Boone and Crockett. One main reason is for the Muley influence from the Eastern portion of the county and the transplanting of mule deer in the mid 60's and late 70's into the region. With these mulies breeding some what with the native blacktail have produced a stain of blacktail( bench legs etc,etc, etc.) into the system. But for the most part the muley influence in the western portion of the county is almost back to a pure blacktail species. Are you stating with your reference on wikipedia that the region should only serve as a mule deer area only? Last I knew deer couldn't read or understand boundry lines. :dunno:

in some areas far west there are some true genetics left and recognized by b&c as blacktails. in the area we hunt in the east they are bench leg crosses most the time.

well, as far as the WDFW is concerned, anything west of the Klickitat River is a black tail.  I know that the ones on the Mt. have big ears and many have big bodies.  Just what I see, I really only hunt one area and never see another hunter, that is unless I take my son's with me.

No I don't. We walked a mile out to get the cart and the camera, and then FORGOT the camera. So all I got is that picture of it on the tailgate.   :bash:

The cougars are definitely more prevalent than they used to be and are taking their toll on the deer populations. Good luck if you go for it. That buck picture is a dandy. Nice work, those are few and far between in that neck of the woods!

I live in the area as well and without a doubt the numbers are down some. Two years ago there was bit of a winter kill because the deer health was down do to disease.  The east end of the county (mostly private) the deer are doing very well. In many places of the county the deer are migratory and they show up in mid October. I foresee the hunting back over the next few years. Also I am a supporter of 3 point and better in this county.

I too am a supporter for the 3 pt min cause I'm still working on my trigger control :chuckle: With a 3 pt min I can only shoot a larger buck and you definetley see more animals which makes the experience much better. I started hunting with freinds that shot first legal deer, usually a spike, so that became a habit. Now hunting in a 3pt. unit has forced me to be more selective and patient in shooting a legal buck. Now I'm looking forward to challenging myself to get a better buck each year. Now spikes arent tempting anymore :chuckle:

They are listed as Cascade Blacktails in the record books.

Only in the Washington state record book.
