Hunting Blacktail in the Snow! (W/Pics)
« on: November 23, 2010, 09:55:57 PM »
Finally filled my Multi Season/special permit blacktail tag this afternoon.  When I crossed tracks with him, I wasnt but probably 5 minutes behind him.  A short tracking job and a little glassing later I found him and put him down at about 120 yards with an off hand shot to the neck as that was about all I had for a shot.  There was probably about 5 inches of snow and the temp was 25 degrees.  He is a huge framed 3x2, 19inches wide and has small eyeguards!
