Now that is a stud of a blacktail.

Awesome deer. Since the Alpine Lakes Wilderness spans the crest, I suspect there could be some cross breeding.  Even if that were 100% mulie, it's still a hog!
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

I had the same thing happen to me back in 1993. My buck was a 20" 4x5 with real good eye guards scoring around the 125" mark.  Absolutely beautiful buck you have taken there!  Congrats!

Beautiful Buck, congrats..... :drool:

Awesome buck!!! great pictures.  And its nice to see some proof to there being blacktail in "muley" country.  I have seen some deer that i figured migrated into our area here in the entiat during the winter that were blacktail, or blacktail cross.  But had been told that there wasnt any of that over here.
I don't have DNA evidence to back it up for the Entiat, but there are quite a few deer on the east side of the Cascades in WA that range anywhere from appearing "all" blacktail, to cross traits.  Prevalence decreases from south to north.  I killed a deer in Swakane during late archery a few years ago with a brownish coat, small ears, and a tail about half the length for width, and all black on the top surface.  It looked just like the blacktails behind my house in Mossyrock when I lived in the Cowlitz valley.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Absolutely great buck, congrats.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Very nice buck!! Congrats Looks like it could be a Benchleg but thats a touchy word at times.  :chuckle: Still a nice buck and looks like he weighed a fair amount. Love the mass!! Looks more like a blacktail since you were on the west side of the cascades.

Buckhole, wonderful buck!  What side of the Cascade Crest?  For what it is worth, I know that the District Wildlife Bio. in Snohomish Co. took some samples from bucks like that which came back genetically as BT rather than recent generation mule deer crosses.
They might be sneaking off someones land thats raising bc blacktails  ;) Buckhoe thats a fine deer glad he didn't get by you and out the canyon bottom  :o Congrats and thanks for sharing  :hello:
