Thanks.
Yes, that is too bad. Since it is a cross area it can't be scored. As far as we can tell it is not a cross, black tail, smaller ears. We have been hunting the area for years and for years Washington fish and wildlife had the area scored as Blacktail. Recently they changed that to Mule deer but allow you to choose Blacktail when you go in an report it. It is going be mounted though and my partner and I are convinced it's blacktail. We have not seen any mule deer around the area we hunt in all the years we have been hunting there.

Man that's an awesome buck you got there. That thing's got to be real close to a book buck. Good Mass, Great Eyeguards, and very few deductions from what I can see in the pics. Get him scored. He might just go 135 B & C. Congratulations on one hellova buck man!!!!
Thanks.
We thought it would be scored around that too. But, B and C will not score Blacktails from that region as it is a cross area. Even though we are convinced it is a blacktail. But that doesn't bother either my partner or me. It is a memorable deer and a great hunt.

The deer on the top looks a lot more like a blacktail than the one on the bottom. :dunno:

Good buck. Some of those buggers might be crossed up with muleys in that area
Yes, all the deer in the Klickitat/Goldendale area are cross-bred with muleys.
GREAT DEER!!

Great buck!!, I shot a blackie in Goldendale during the modern season. It was the only buck I saw all week and figured it was a nice little 3x3 to take down..we were up in ceadervalley road, a couple miles west of goldedale. Where did you hunt??
We hunt east of Goldendale, east of highway 97 on some private land. Sometimes we hunt 3 creeks too.

nice blacktails..... are they all blackail or mixed?
Hard to say. The two we got appear to us to be pure Blacktails. Black tail, smaller ears and horn formation appears to us to be more blacktail than mule deer. My deer which to me looks more typical of an average blacktail over there was actually taken a few miles more east than my buddies on flat land,

Where east of Goldendale? My family owns land by Rock Creek, Oak Flat Road and also some land on the Columbia Hills above the John Day Dam.

Great bucks nonetheless. I've hunted goldendale area since...forever. I've seen a boxey 26inch 4x4 muley-looking buck and a smaller 3pt with points coming off the main beam blacktail looking deer in the same push down there. They are a mix, with different characteristics showing up. But who cares, dang nice deer. Check out the post titled "buddies buck from this and his last years buck." Both are from the same area way west of highway 97 and they look totally different. They both had skinny mule deer like tails with black on them, and the racks...anyones guess.
I checked out those deer. Man, they are nice. The area in the 2nd picture looks familiar.
