Hell Yes

18" outside, 19" tall = toad. I'm not sure why there's any question.

AOD · « **Reply #6 on:** November 04, 2011, 01:42:16 PM »

his brother has the same frame, more mass, and stickers off the rear tine. i passed on his bro last tuesday b/c i couldn't tell what he was exactly in the fading light. i didn't want to shoot another 90-100" 2pt. but these 2 deer are by far the coolest i've seen this year!

the "problem" is i have been fortunate enough to shoot a wall full of 90-110" blacktails in the last 14 years. i have always shot big framed deer in the past and have never got more than what i expected. a broadside 4pt turns out to be a 4x3 or whatever. not complaining but this year i wanted a few more facts before i put one down. and i have to say this shooting deer with a camera is kinda fun too!

If he's too small for ya, call runamuk. I'm sure she'd be happy to put her first deer tag on that bad boy!

BOWHUNTER45 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 04, 2011, 02:56:33 PM »

yep ...I think he is an older buck and definately a shooter ...proberly will not get any bigger

DWP · « **Reply #15 on:** November 04, 2011, 03:10:35 PM »

Yes. Affirmative. Si. Oui. You bet. Etc.....

I can respect just being able to not shoot it, it must take some serious patience. He must be a regular visitor?

YoterHunter · « **Reply #16 on:** November 04, 2011, 03:58:56 PM »

a nice tall 2x2 with I gards .with a rack like that. hell ya.

AOD · « **Reply #17 on:** November 04, 2011, 04:19:19 PM »

i dont get to see many big bucks until the rut. i dont think many people would i swear these guys live underground most of the year!

Where do you live again?

oldcamper · « **Reply #19 on:** November 04, 2011, 05:12:46 PM »

NO DON'T SHOOT

blackveltbowhunter · « **Reply #20 on:** November 04, 2011, 05:31:12 PM »

Im a sucker for eyegaurds

. So I would shoot. I passed a buck very similar in general season, not quite as good of frame but he was smooth so he walked.

bucklucky · « **Reply #21 on:** November 04, 2011, 06:00:42 PM »

Nice buck, thats a damned if you do , damned if you dont buck. 16 1/2 wide 14 1/2 tall. Nice buck Id kill him and be very happy, archery gear done deal no question.

blacktail luv · « **Reply #22 on:** November 04, 2011, 06:06:46 PM »

I guess I'll be the first one to say it. I wouldn't shoot it. It's a nice buck don't get me wrong but I'd admire him and move on.

kglacken · « **Reply #23 on:** November 04, 2011, 06:11:56 PM »

You are in a good area if you would admire him and move on! I wouldnt think twice...

blacktailer · « **Reply #24 on:** November 04, 2011, 06:55:08 PM »

Shooter in my book. Any mature blacktail is a trophy. BOOM!!!!!!

singleshot12 · « **Reply #25 on:** November 04, 2011, 07:29:54 PM »

He's a little thin looking, specially in the hind quarters, meat might be tough too. I'd hold off and wait for a fat fork horn or spike with more meat on the hindquarters

DWP · « **Reply #26 on:** November 04, 2011, 10:42:54 PM »

I should say that I hunt with a bow....but I would shoot him with any weapon if I ran across him.

D360 · « **Reply #27 on:** November 04, 2011, 11:54:18 PM »

Nice buck, I'll come put him down for ya
