It was shot in 448 unit.  I didn't even plan on hunting that day went out to help a friend and his wife recover a doe that she hit that morning.   The doe was hit low in the front leg and never recovered  :bash:.  After searching the afternoon we split up and started doing circles in are search when I jumped this Buck.  I took a long shot and down he went after a little run.

Awesome buck! love the heavy antlers! I truely appreciate how tough it is to get a buck like that! Especially with a bow! It seems like every story about a good blackie involves a little luck. Just goes to show that you have to get out as much as possible and hope there is a little luck on your side that day! Great job man! :IBCOOL:

 :drool: :drool:  Well done, my best is only a 2 point. Still looking for that elusive big blackie. I always need luck on my side when it comes to hunting black tail deer.  Great Job!

I didn't get him mounted.  I would have liked to do a European mount.  I still have it in the freezer.

Congrats on your buck. There are some nice ones out there my dad shot a nice one back in 78. Has some nice mass to it like yours. Good job.

Nice blacktail!  Not great at guessing score, use the online calculator at Booneandcrockett.com  Should give you a rough idea.

I think 90 inches makes the book for archery on blacktail :dunno:.  i think my buck falls short of that mark but my dad got one a few years ago that i think would make the book.  i will try to find pics of that deer.

Nice looking deer.  I think any blacktail buck is a trophy deer.  Unless you have property and lots of apple trees or a great clear cut they are a challenge or at least used to be prior to trail cameras.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
