Sweet buck bench or not.

i imagine by a DNA test. i heard B&C wont take anything east of I-5 because of crossbreeding

[asl20bball]

Given the ears it is not a straight up BT but a killer buck for sure. Congrats!

[coachcw]

Sweet buck bench or not.

Based on where it was killed, but mainly the ears.

Boone and crockett boundry for blacktails. Awesome buck sounds like you were in Blacktail area.



Washington — Beginning at the Washington-British Columbia border, the boundary line runs south along the west boundary of North Cascades National Park to the range line between R10E and R11E, Willamette Meridian, which is then followed directly south to its intersection with the township line between T18N and T17N, which is then followed westward until it connects with the north border of Mt. Rainier National Park, then along the north, west and south park boundaries until it intersects with the range line between R9E and R10E, Willamette Meridian, which is then followed directly south to the Columbia River near Cook

Isn;t that the WDFW boundary and not B/C?

Actually, that would put Packwood East of the boundary. According to that description, Ashford is barely in Blacktail country. That puts the eastern boundary of the Mashel Unit(654) as the pure blacktail cut off. I always thought that the line was a little more to the east.

The WDFW boundary is the Pacific Crest Trail, for almost the entire length of the state.

[280ackley]

That is a cut and paste from B&C.  Ashford is just barley west of the line but it then goes east along the southern NP boundary to R9E and R10E.  That line is a few miles east of the town of Packwood.

Regardless of what a book says, or if the deer stepped across a line on a map, its easy to tell that deer has Muley in his genes. Compare that deer to a true costal blackie and you'll agree. (well, most will). As many have said though, that's a pisser. Beautiful buck and dandy trophy of a lifetime.

[pwdr-brnr]

true blacktail or benchleg that is still damn nice buck

[PolarBear]

Let's see it's tail!   

[robescc]

That is a beautiful buck.  Don't let anyone take that away. Who gives a rip where it came from.  I would love to down a bench leg buck.

[Axle]

From the picture - it looks like a black guy shot it......correct me if I'm wrong 

[SemperFidelis97]

Bench leg, or not that is a majestic beast there.

[Ihuntelk2]

 

[wsucowboy]

who gives a damn if it a bench leg or not! It's a damn good buck either way! Congrats on a hell of a buck

[bullchaser]

huge buck who cares... looks more like a blacktail than any of the Cali bucks.

[engelwood]

Hullava buck.

[G.R.K]

Nice buck and blow down. 

[400out]

Let's see it's tail!
