Huge Blacktail

I found my buck for the 08 season.  Hopefully he sticks around for a while.  My dad snapped this pic yesterday on his job site.

The high fence makes a very steady rest for the shot :chuckle:

I guess that means no one killed him... :dunno:He would have showed up somewhere..
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Here are some more to drool over.  There havent been any sightings for a while now.  It was awesome to see this buck and as you can see he was very tame.





Enjoy.

it's not in oregon is it? it's not that giant that got poached down there?
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

This is pure washingtonian.  I dont think he was killed, just moved away.  Maybe he is in that area seasonally and he will be back soon.  Hopefully he just made a bunch of babies that will turn out just like him.

They don't "move" away.  That buck has a distinct home range and if it were me, I'd be on a serious mission to find those '08 sheds.  Have you seen him this spring yet?  He should be making appearances as he did last year.  With all that non-typical hardware, he'll be using the high grass and blackberry thickets for bedding cover and general security.  Is there timber nearby?  looks like the back lot of a small business park or industrial area.  Honey holes for big bucks!
