Bruiser Blacky
« on: June 16, 2008, 12:27:07 PM »
This guy is most likely not around anymore, not killed by a hunter, but old age.  My buddy's grandma would take pics of him each year. He basically lived in her backyard here in Gig Harbor. We have a few pics of him. What a stud.

Does he have some sort of non-typ growth that goes around his horn base and his ear and run down his nose on the left side?  He is a gorgeous buck for sure.
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.

Here's a side pic. He's actually a 6x6 if you count the huge double eyegaurds.

I don't suppose you have a forward shot.  Man that is very unique and would be an awesome trophy.

What a stud Blacktail, look at his roman nose in the bottom pic! Those eye guards from hell!

Ironically, Gig Harbor used to be known for some of the biggest and most concentrated areas for black bears too. Most likely not now though.  Ive lived here my whole life and have seen some bears, including a 19 1/8" bear my dad killed here. Nowadays, any available piece of dirt has a house shoved on it.

That its quite simply a damn nice buck right there.  That side shot answers my question, wow what a piggy.
