Title: High Country Blacktail
Post by: browney5er on November 03, 2012, 06:17:44 PM
I guess I better start by thanking Bearpaw for downsizing my pictures, I've been trying for several days with no luck. Got a break in the weather last Sunday and headed for the high country. I had been extremely frustrated by the weather the last couple of weeks and finally got my chance, I guess good things come to those who wait.

Pre 64 model 70 action rebarreled in .280 and tipped with the true deadliest mushroom in the forest the tipped Barnes triple shock.It was only about a 70 yd shot he turned and went straight up the Mt. away from me and I hit him right between the front shoulders, the bullet never came out so it made it nice for pictures with no blood.  You can see in the first couple of pictures it's steep, so with a heavy pack it was truley scary in the snow and then it was just hard work, it's 3000ft elev. gain no trail so I don't know how far.  As for the orange,no comment.

Here's a picture of the bullet, I don't have any pictures of the damage but I can tell when I started to cape him I looked for the bullet and I had my whole hand inside the deer between his shoulders. The bullet broke his spine and part of his right shoulder blade and continued forward where I found it just beneath the hide right at the throat patch. This is the third one I've recovered with 4 perfect pedals and less than two grains of weight loss.

                                                           140 gr going in 139 gr upon recovery.  DEVESTATING!!!

Great buck man!  Congrats!  I have some velvet pics of a high country blacktail that look very similar. I'll post them up later. May be the same buck.

Post by: shanevg on November 07, 2012, 02:44:31 PM
What do you guys think?  I don't see the eye guards - but other than that looks like some similar genetics.
