First off, nice job. Good looking deer and you will have some good memories from the hunt. Some tasty dinners ahead. Second, with you holding that deer head up all bloody and grim I realized you are both a couple of ugly looking fellas. Just kidding around here...glad it worked out for you. Doesn't have to be a monster to be a trophy.

Sweet Forky Rasbo.....You should have just drawn the knife and let him keep coming.. You would be a hero on here if you killed it bare handed with your knife... Nice buck.....JAMNG

Cool buck Rasbo.  That blackie has some age to him it appears and nice bone for a Forky.  I can't get over the size of him and how awesome those back straps are gonna taste.  I've taken a couple mule deer rattlin, an occasional grunt and moving ever so slow, it worked for me during the rut, but since the season closes over here before the rut I haven't done it in a while.  Sure did work on that blacktail.  Super pics and write-up Rasbo and friends like that are what makes a good hunting season complete. :)   :)  John

I bet that 180# is pretty darn close. My brother got a 3x in the general season that weighed 140# minus guts, head, hide and lower legs. After weighting the other parts and adding for the guts they came up with 190# for an estimated live weight.

Again, nice buck. Congrats.

That's a big fork!   How was the meat on that old boy?  I shot a buck once that had been creased by a bullet and the meat had turned and was too the point of not being edible.
