Title: Washington Blacktail - 2013
Post by: Chipmunk on February 27, 2014, 07:33:58 AM: Got him 10/28/13. Finally got one to add to the family trophy books! The last pic is my uncle and me. He killed that 25yrs ago on the same hill. I was 9 and along for that ride. Family tradition is what its all about...and a little luck ;)

Chipmunk: I figured that question would come up. Short and black!? Here's the best pic I got of his tail where he took his final nap

Post by: pd on February 27, 2014, 08:59:18 AM: Congratulations, Chipmunk. I can see the genetics (both the bucks and the uncle/nephew). Yes, family tradition IS what this is all about.

Nice deer what did it weigh?

I got about 85 lbs of meat from him. From what I've read you harvest about 40% of a deers actual weight. So around 210+ lbs???

Where did you conk that buck? I see what appears to be a developed hiking trail in the background of that top image.

Also: Rifle, Model, ammunition, bullet weight, distance of shot.... details, details, details!!! Oh, and where's your hunter orange? Always a good idea to have that in the image.

I sure hope you sent a photo over to Northwest Sportsman magazine.

Not giving all details...Browning .270, couple miles in 3500 ft,40 yd shot. No orange for pictures. Rained like hell the day before, didn't see any bucks but saw some dandy rubs. My buddy convinced me to go back up the next morning and by luck it turned out to be a beautiful day. The Wind was swirling from all directions that day which I think disguised my position. About 920 am I heard a blow and then watched this bruiser crash through the timber chasing a doe from right to left facing uphill about 60 yds. Thought to myself I'll probably never see that animal again. Then for whatever reason the doe changed direction and brought the buck back towards me. Doe passed and then then as soon as the buck got in sight I blew at him and he stopped dead in his tracks behind a tree He took 2 more fatal steps out and I shot him. He didn't flinch or nothing. The way he continued to walk like a zombie had me thinking I'd missed. Found him a 100 yds or so away.

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on February 27, 2014, 01:55:06 PM: Couple of stud bucks there! Put a tape to them both and see who has bragging rights at the camp fire. (I think gramps might)

Nah... On second look, yours has more mass and maybe length. His has more spread though. I haven't seen a true Blacktail that big in a long time. Very well done...

Post by: CNELK on February 27, 2014, 02:14:31 PM: One hell of a buck and congratulations on keeping the family tradition going! Hopefully you can keep that kind of luck going. Did you happen to have your buck scored this year at the sportsman show in Portland? I saw a buck there that looked a lot like yours that was also killed this year.

Did you have him scored? Gotta love the big boys going dumb over tail, it has nailed me a few a couple bucks in the past.

I have not got him scored yet. Won't have it back til July... I would though like to get it scored and if anyone has a contact please let me know. I also have the lower jaw and would like to figure out the age.

The pic with it in the bucket leads me to believe he might not want a shoulder mount.

Post by: jackmaster on March 03, 2014, 06:58:37 AM: for you who think those are hybrids, i have seen a few bucks that look just like that come out of the olmpics, its rugged gnarley huntn and the bucks are not only super heavy bodied but pack awesome headgear like that, the thing of it is, its depressing huntn, you dont see alot of anything except chipmunks and squirels, you go days up in that high country without seeing a deer and the fog is about as bad as it can get, they arew the true testiment to the GRAY GHOST up in some of those hills, along with a couple of honest to god hillbillies that truly live off the grid..... :tup:
