Big Black tail walked up on me while bear hunting
« on: October 02, 2011, 06:19:04 PM »
While sitting in a clear cut on a slash pile out in the open, this black tail walks right up on us. For some reason doesn't even know we are there. Looked right at us briefly and, we didn't move. He just fed right across the landing and off the other side. Snapped a few pics with the iPhone and this was standard frame, not zoom.

That is not all that unusual with does sometimes. With a buck, that is different and very cool.

He came by to say "neener neener" in deer speak.

I'm from the East side and don't hunt black tail, all I have ever shot Is mulies and white tail. I showed several friends and they say he is big but I wouldn't know? If he was a mulie with a rack like that I would definitely pass on him. You West side guys would know black tail way better than I .

That's a shooter in my book!  Awesome tine length!  It'd be interesting to see what he'd look like next year.... if he makes it through the season.

I've had that happen over here during elk, the deer seasons closed and a 27" maybe 28" mulie feeding 200 yards away or so. Knows I'm there but doesn't have a care in the world. :bash:

I have no problem telling anyone where he was at. You can stand with your back to the gas station in SkyKomish and look straight up the mountain and slightly to the left at the clear cut he was in. About a mile above the locked gate with the small bridge creek crossing just past it. No joke! Good luck!

Yes. This was awhile ago. Just posted it when I was looking through pictures.
