Years ago I seen two Blacktails or Muley/Blacktail cross near Rock Creek campground going up the Loup Loup. Brown coat, Blacktail tail and darker face.

My Dad and I were both surprised to see them anywhere in Okanogan. Dad said to me that they must have wanted to go on a walkabout. LOL  :chuckle:

I think a lot of people are too quick to cry hybrid over the internet.
You could post a pic of a big buck from Neah Bay and it wouldn't be long before someone's saying "looks like a benchleg to me."

Tough call of coarse everyone is going to have an opinion. Alot of factors to take in account and just a head and horns is not going to do it.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

What were the teeth like? Its either an older Blacktail,/benchleg, or a young mule deer. From what I can see my vote would be for young mule deer.

Mule deer, the only way it could be a cross in the Naneum is if someone planted some blacktail up there and I seriously doubt that. I've seen an area where mule deer were planted in blacktail country and within a couple generations their genes disappeared back into the blacktail.
