Title: Late Season Cascade Blacktail Archery Buck
Post by: littlemac on November 25, 2012, 10:31:51 PM
Just got a pic of a friends blacktail that he took up off of Chinook Pass area yesterday.  Three others in the party didn't see anything.

Not a big story to go with it, right place when he needed to be there and took a shot longer than he usually would, but comfortable with the morning conditions.  Double lung and it went twenty yards.

I only got this one picture.

Me too, live near and hunt with one of the guys.  He used to live in Yakima and hunts with the group.  Sounded like it was a bit slow other than that first and only buck while he was there.

First off, great buck!  Second...That is not a blacktail.. That is a Ridge Runner (Mule/BT cross).  Most of the bucks we shoot now days even down in the Nile are cross bread.

Not an expert at the book or even a novice for that matter, I was going off of the description given by a hunter in the group who is in the/a book with a Cascade Blacktail link to NW Big Game here: http://www.nwbiggame.com/top_10.cfm (http://www.nwbiggame.com/top_10.cfm)

I copied the page below and it covers deer from the crossover area as I understand it.  My friends brother is the #7 deer here.

trees in the second pic make it look eastern wa  :dunno: work about 3 miles nw from the pass as the crow flies. Either way that is a nice buck!

Post by: littlemac on November 30, 2012, 09:44:47 AM
I believe the distinction is between a Columbia (west side) and Cascade (hybrid) blacktail.  The Cascade being from the area where they meet and crossbreed

Looks like the same deer to me.... But why is the craigslist add saying the buck was stole in september  :dunno: I thought it wasnt killed till late November?

I'll buy lunch if that isn't the same deer.

Eye gaurds are the same, and it has the shallow fork on the Lt antler. Same buck. Whats the real story here. When was it killed, by who, and what season? Was it stolen?  :dunno:
Title: Re: Late Season Cascade Blacktail Archery Buck
Post by: buglebuster on January 08, 2013, 10:16:06 AM
My guess is the craigslist ad meant to say november, not september but still the same questions :dunno:

How did Sean Craig get the photo with the man and buck for the craigs list add on Dec 15th, when this pic showed up here yesterday? :dunno: How did he get it? Was this buck posted on another forum? Very strange.

Does your buddy with the cabin know the story?

Title: Re: Late Season Cascade Blacktail Archery Buck
Post by: littlemac on January 08, 2013, 09:36:42 PM
The story I hear is he (the with the deer)shot the deer, watched it run and drop, one arrow in it and it was his.  Then the other party (Sean)says it is there's.

He has plenty of deer and doesn't need someone else's, according to my friend who was in camp.  Ironically the pic he sent was from the Craigslist post.

Post by: haulinbass on January 09, 2013, 12:40:13 PM
My buddy was the one that shot it and it ran all the way to where it was found. The blood trail was from where Sean shot it to where your buddy claimed it. Sean and my buddies went back up to bloodtrail the buck again so they were for sure it was the one Sean shot and when they went back to were they helped drag the buck out your buddy was no where to be seen. Only reason my buddy got a picture of this buck is your buddy mentioned the cabins. When they got there and Sean said something about the deer your buddy said well I guess we should have discussed it on the hill. Which was impossible because he left. Now I am not here to cause problems but this is the story
Title: Re: Late Season Cascade Blacktail Archery Buck
Post by: C-Money on January 09, 2013, 12:53:55 PM
Did the deer have two arrows in it? Or was Sean the only one to connect with the buck. Why claim a buck from someone that mortally wounded and tracked to where it died?
Title: Re: Late Season Cascade Blacktail Archery Buck
Post by: deerslyr on January 09, 2013, 01:05:21 PM
Why post it on craigslist as a stolen buck, if he knew exactly who had it?

Works for me, I don't know the guy that has the deer, a friend forwarded the pic and I asked if I could post it and was given the ok by the hunter, as well as his story.

Sorry it was part of a mess.

Sounds like a back alley abortion gone wrong. Too bad, that buck deserved a better story than the current fiasco.
