Great blacktail sheds, not "benchlegs" either. Those are awesome.

Cool finds man, and nice pics also.  :tup:
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.

I grew up in Issaquah, and yes there are some sweet blackies there. The hard part is finding a way to hunt them.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I live in Issaquah, too, I used to see a lot of bucks around the neighborhood, but lately just a doe and two fawns.  We live at the base of Squak mountain and there are a few spots that look bucky, but I haven't looked yet.  Better hurry before the ferns and blackberries grow up.


This one was just off the porch.

There is a road not to far from where the dead heads were found, my first thought was that they may have been hit by a car, both skulls were on their own , no other bones - critters must have dragged them around a bit,
