Wow, huge blacktail! Congrats, and thanks for your service too! Like cooneyes said, better stop hunting blacktails, cause if you try and beat that, it'll be a LONG time before you even see a deer that big. Switch to muleys or whitetails next year, do that for a few years, then come back to blackies when you're ready again! I blew it on a huge blackie last year, didn't get the shot, and I'm haunted now.....
