This is the biggest blacktail forked horn I've ever seen, and my 9 year old son was the lucky shooter.

The biggest 2pt I ever saw I killed back in 1995.  The body on him was huge for a blacktail.

That has to be the best looking blacktail I've seen, in regard to antler color and cape.

This is PathfinderJR with an elk a buddy of mine killed last year.  Opening day archery, he cow called and this spike came running by, stopped broadside and he shot it.  Went back to camp for breakfast, came back a couple of hours later to track and find his "spike".
When he walked up to it he couldn't believe the size.  It was a huge, ancient bull (almost no teeth left, hooves like a moose) that had regressed back to being a spike.  Biggest bull any of us had ever seen.

Was that in yakima county?

Here's a couple of the local boys from about 3 wks ago.  The one on the left wasn't as big as the one on the right.  Both are going to be bruisers.

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.

Ok here is the only picture I have of this rack...  Was a freak and was shot years ago..


By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
