I've never done a whitetail.............they dont intrest me at all.
I was the same way because of all there publicity but got hooked my first year when I shot my big one. When you hunt them here in the high country it is a ton of fun and is not like all you see on T.V.

...too small although i heard they're yummy!
They are not small, The first one I shot was a conservative 230 lbs I am 6' 6'' and 250 lbs. Look at the pic, I think it was my 05 deer. The next years was way over 200 as well.

I've shot all three, I grew up hunting Blackies in Skagit Co and have taken about 15 of them plus around a dozen Mulies & 3 whitetails. I need a Blacktail worth mounting so I can have all 3 on my wall of death. :rockin:
Show-off!!!

less about a trophy blacktail (unless it was high book) just too small i guess, or maybe its hunting them in mossy rain soaked ferns and underbrush... i dunno.
They are not so small either. They are the hardest to hunt I believe. We have killed bucks well over 200lbs. A buddy shot one about 6 years ago that was pushing 250lbs.

I think the terrain they live in makes them a little harder to hunt than mule deer and whitetail. Its really thick and really wet and really steep-at least the areas i hunt. I have never tagged a black tail deer-only mule deer, but theres a part of me that loves hunting blacktails on a stormy/drizzly fall day.

i was refering more to antler size than body size, the 3 point i shot was a pig, made his horns look even smaller! :chuckle:

Taken numerous blacks, but none worthy to mount, and taken three whites, no worth mounting.
Maybe this is the year......
Only thing I need from Washington big game is Goat, Sheep, Moose, and Cougar. Unles you count Wolf and coyote.

5x5 Whitetail
a few 4pt+ Mulies
a couple small Blacktails
I need a Whitetail to complete mine. No real desire to hunt Whitetails though. I like Mulies and Blacktails too much to concentrate on anything else.

Got em all and P&Y qualifiers in each species. Also have a couple of sub-species. Cascade blacktail and muley/whitetail cross. I need to get my Mt. Adams benchleg scored someday.
Let's get him scored up! PM me.

Are you going north this weekend, or waiting for late season, or archery hunting this year?
