here is the first year
-
this year
-
only a couple more days until late archery ;)
-
Good lookin buck!
-
Isn't the first deer a whitetail and the second a mulie. Might be the angle or I still have sleepy eyes this early, but that sure looks like two different deer.
-
I'm with Bullcanyon, the first one looks like a wt to me ,the second is a muley. :dunno:
-
Either way nice looking buck(s).
-
i wouldve took him last year
-
Looks like the same buck to me... only much larger this year.
-
well since this is my first post and i been at this game since i was 12 the first one is definitely a whitetail granted its a beautiful one and the mulies are definitely my kind of deer but i think what the guy is getting at is he is hunting 2 different areas jmop
-
First one is not a whitetail look at the black tip on the tail.
Nice buck, looks like a yakima area deer :dunno:
-
Looks like the same guy, I agree with Jake and Rock. Good luck with the bow.
-
the tail is kinda the give away after lookin closer it does look like a whitetail but in my opinion it's 2 different deer the face has kinda different look to it to
-
Nice bucks....
The first bucks rack looks different to me than the second buck posted. I agree it appears to be a White tail buck and Mule buck
-
after reviewing the first and second pics at close view the black tip on the first pic is actually a shadow not apart of the tail so i am sticking with my first thought 2 different deer
-
They look like the same bucks to me. Those of you who think that the first pic is a whitie need to spend a little more time in the woods. Look at the body and tail, not the rack. That is how a lot of mulies are shot during whitetail only season, folks looking at the rack and nothing else. I've seen a ton of blacktails with perfect whitie racks as well.
-
The first Pciture is pretty bright and clear and the white really stands. The second is somewhat dull and the ass end of the deer looks a bit grungy. On the first picture there is a spot of blacktail which could be a mule deer.. there does seem to be a differences between animals.. but I wasn't there to actually both animals
-
The first one is a muley. 100% sure
-
they are the same deer. look closer at the antlers the left side (deers left) is spot on the rigth side isnt to off either. the deer just has more mass and a tiny bit more tine length but not to noticable imo.
the first pic the black tip on the tail is not a shadow, its alot darker then the rest of the shadow on the inside of the deers leg.
-
i will say that that picture makes him look like a white tail but i can guarantee it isnt, lol i took the picture and watched him a couple different days last year, i'll post a few more pics, and i am positive they are the same deer
-
all three of these are last years
-
Looks like the same deer to me...... The rack looks very close to the same just bigger this year! and I have no clue how someone would mistake that first pic as a whitetail :dunno:
-
Dang Jake you have got those bucks nailed down!!! :)
-
First one is a Wildebeast for sure...................................... :chuckle: :chuckle:
Both mulies and look to be the same deer. Nice pictures and nice buck.
-
The first one dose not look like a WT to me. Looks like the same deer. Is it a muley from the Goldendale area?
-
I was with jake when he took the picture of the alleged "White-tail".... not many WT in the upper yakima county are there? ;) Its a Muley
-
I think the deer around yakima have a little bit of blacktail in them. Looling at the tail and ears they just don't look like the deer of say chelan county. He does have a rack like a whitetail though. I have heard of whitetail down by union gap by the river before though.
-
I've grew up Yakima and have hunted there for the past ten years or so. Unfortunately, no whitetails in Yakima...at all. As was mentioned before, blacktails often have racks that points come off the main beam like that, and the Yakima deer are blacktail/muley cross. I watched (and blew the stalks) on a buck very similar to that buck in Ellensburg this fall, and he wasn't a whitetail either.
-
I've seen and shot bucks near Yakima like that. People will ask me when they see the racks if they are WT. A couple of my friends have shot some also. There is a genepool of deer that all the bigger they get is (3PT) with long tines, and a half black tail. That looks like the same buck to me. BOOM!!!!
-
I retract my original post. Sleepy eyes have wore off. BUT to you that think there are no whitetail around Yakima. Maybe take a drive out on the rez. We seen two really nice whitetail bucks out there last year. Flag flying high when they were leaving. No doubt about it.
-
yeah its easy to find bucks before the season but come Wednesday..... totally different story.
-
I've seen Yakima deer (muley/blacktail cross) throw a flag too, doesn't mean they are whitetail. Have you ever heard of a whitetail being shot anywhere near Yakima? I guess a bioligist's opinion would be great. Its just that I have never seen or heard of whitetails anywhere near there...ever. But I'm not an expert either.
-
I really want to say where jake took that picture but im not... Its not worth letting a bunch a people know where some good bucks are just to prove the point that it is 100% not a white tail. But believe me, IT IS NOT A WHITETAIL. Trust me...
-
Muley's will flare out their rump hair when nervous and running away, never seen one flag a tail.
-
Bull Canyon I think when you were driving around on the rez you might have drank a little to much of that fire water. :P LOL. I cant believe theres even any animals still alive out there. I talk to some of the natives at the jail I work at and they always tell me that they killed most of the animals on the res and that's why they wander outside the rez so much now adays.
-
HAHAHA. But seriously, I saw a doe flag her tail on my drive back to Ellensburg in the Yakima canyon last weekend. I think it may be just something that random muley/blacktail crosses do?
-
The first one looks like every other mule deer ive seen unless whitetails have mutated to having tiny tails with black tips and large ears!! nice bucks reguardless good luck!!
