7 x 9 blacktail rack
« on: April 06, 2011, 11:38:43 AM »
Check out this rack hanging in a local home shop near me.  From 1965!  The tag was only 2 dollars!  Pretty cool, the picture with the airhoses is how it is usually used.  I was told it is a blacktail.  Sorry I don't have any more details, I know absolutely nothing about scoring so I have no clue, just thought it was cool and I would share.

If that thing truely is a blacktail, he needs to have it scored.  Very nice buck either way.

That's weird?  The first pict shows as a red X but if I click it I can see it? :dunno:  Yes I believe the owner said blacktail but I will ask him again before I say it is definitely a black tail.  It is wide but the tines are a little thin as if it was from a very old buck.  There are three "drop" tines on it at least they look like drop tines they stick out from the sides and go down a little but again I know NOTHING about scoring and what not.  I thought he said it was from Whidbey Island but he has a bunch of horns in that shop and that may have been another set.  I will check, this is hanging in Snohomish county.

damn nice buck, if it is a blacktail i would be coming up with a cape and having the horns reconditioned and get that baby mounted..... sure looks like a muley though, but i have seen other blacktails that sure looked like muleys but i knew for sure that they were blackies, sure would like to hear the story behind it

Nice rack. Bench leg possibly, but more likely mule deer.
Cut em!

Sorry, I was way way wrong.   :bash: I just asked the owner.  It was taken in the Mission Creek area south of Cashmere.  You are all correct definitely Muley, Sorry.

It looks an awful lot like a mule deer rack.

I was pretty sure it was a muley when I was looking at it, but that's alright, it's still a really nice buck.  Very cool.
