The new one is a typical 4X4, nets 184 and change, has 6 1/8" bases and has been hanging on the wall of a tavern for 60+ years, it was taken in the 1930's in Castle Rock. DNA tests are being done to confirm that it is indeed a BT.
You should see all the other big bucks hangin in the Pastime...

To think that I (along with everybody else), had looked at that set of horns for 20 years before Rismoen got them. I thought it was a mulie! He just happened to know the shooter and had heard the story.
I know huh! There are still a couple sets left in there that i'd like to know the backstories on!

Here are some statistics I just ran across. Haven't verified em' but....
Washington’s Widest Bucks
Outside Spread Widths in inches
Total number of 20 plus inch bucks - 47 out of 112 entries - 42 %
Break down of 20 plus inch bucks:
20 - 23 7/8 - 37
24 - 25 78 - 09
26 - 28 - 01
Washington’s widest - 26 4/8
State record - Inside spread 20 2/8, Outside spread 22 4/8

22" 3x3 138"
A guy can't fully understand the magnitude of a 140'' 3 point blacktail, until he holds it in his hands!! The pics don't do your buck justice Jeff, that thing is a HONKER!!! thanks for postin. Later

This is the Cowlitz county blacktail from 1935
That's awesome. Is that the pass time buck ? Pretty killer genetics in Cowlitz county

If I shoot a Blacktail buck that's standing on the west side of the PCT but I was standing on the east side of the PCT, does it matter what the DNA says? For that matter, if a Mule deer steps from the east side of the PCT to the west side, would the Blacktails DNA change in mid-stride?
Just askin?
Thank god you didn’t hypothetically shoot it as it was mid stride over the trail, or shoot when it was on the west side and it died on the east side.

You guys know that the pct trail is only what the WDFW uses for a boundary line between mule deer and blacktail right?Would Boone and Crocket or other record keeping orgs do a genetic test to determine if a blacktail is a record? Just curious

This is not true at all. There is a magical force field barrier that prevents all blacktails and mule deer from crossing into each others territory. My great uncle showed me where there are a few spots that have weakened photon metaculators and those are the spots where you find benchlegs. Other than those few areas its gonna be either a mule deer on the East side or a blacktail on the West side of the trail. That's why they decided to put the trail on that line in the first place.

I just came here to see a picture of a 180” Washington blacktail. That would be quite the sight.
Here is one, and it happens to be the world record.😉

What I said is true. The Boone and Crockett boundary is not the pct trail.

It was a joke, none of the "boundaries" mean anything. Why let someone else determine if your animal is a mule deer or a blacktail? There are clear and distinct differences in the 2 species. If I shot one East of their boundary but it looked like a blacktail then I would call it a blacktail. It is what it is. The books don't matter, they are just for the people who want the attention. :dunno:
Post by: blackveltbowhunter on May 29, 2024, 10:09:52 AM
I don't agree it exists solely for attention seekers however. And could make a case the attention seeking part is solely individual based and not what the "book" intends to do. Data from these records including DNA testing (not cheap) are information that is used to adjust the boundary and/or confirm species interbreeding and genetic dilution.

Still an amazing animal, but to see one be harvested in recent years with all the new scouting/camera technology would be really cool.
