Title: Is this a good blackie
Post by: emac on July 10, 2014, 09:51:07 PM: Not a blackie hunter but hunted doe's last year. Had this guy at 20 yards but only had a doe tag. landowner sent me this pic of him this year. And yes date is wrong on the picture.

Post by: singleshot12 on July 11, 2014, 06:41:30 AM: I would call that a "great blackie" and way above average

Post by: Natures Way on July 11, 2014, 07:10:10 AM: that is a great buck.

Post by: MADMAX on July 11, 2014, 07:22:21 AM: Nice rack but hes only a 3-3.5 year old , we need to let him have a couple more seasons to put on some mass.

I hate the hunting shows when they say that- hahha

Kill him when you see him and its legal, no question.

Post by: Mike450r on July 11, 2014, 07:35:29 AM: He will look so much nicer in November. I would of course arrow him the first chance I got but would prefer it happen in the late season.

Post by: REHJWA on July 11, 2014, 10:56:56 AM: Any 4x4 blacktail with eye guards is a good deer. :archery_smiley:
Title: Re: Is this a good blackie
Post by: HUNT-HARD on July 11, 2014, 11:04:31 AM: I would say its a good buck. Weak on the forkes still. I would also agree he is young and could turn into a masher if he lives a few more years.

Post by: kodiak 907 on July 11, 2014, 01:42:07 PM: Way above average. Good luck :tup:
Title: Re: Is this a good blackie
Post by: RadSav on July 11, 2014, 02:17:51 PM: I don't know? He looks out of balance. And once that velvet comes off he will only be about 25% larger than your average blacktail. And I bet he will taste like roses, carrots and bird seed. Who wants that! :chuckle:

Post by: deadwoodbuck on July 11, 2014, 02:47:27 PM: Ditto's above...what are you looking for anyway? is this a city deer or a country deer? looks like a city deer probably has a lot of carcinogens in his system...i'd let him go a couple more years to bulk up and really be worth your time.

That was one of the reasons I would avoid the city deer, but now after reading about all the stuff tree farms spray I'm not sure which is worse. Guess DNR is a little better and USFS would be too.

Post by: emac on July 11, 2014, 04:34:02 PM: Well i am not even goin to hunt him this year. I got drawn for a late tag so i am putting all my eggs in that basket. Me and a buddy have the sole hunting rights to the property. My buddy got drawn for bull elk tags in new Mexico and Oregon so he isn't going after him either. So we are goin take a guy that has never deer hunted before and he is going try and put an arrow in him sometime during archery season. But hopefully he makes it til next year.

Title: Re: Is this a good blackie
Post by: Thanny78 on July 14, 2014, 11:19:55 PM: That is a fine blacktail buck...of course I live on an island. Most of them here are the size of a fat great dane.
Title: Re: Is this a good blackie
Post by: Old Man Yager on July 16, 2014, 07:28:26 AM: Bigger Blacktail than most hunters will ever lay eyes on. Hope some dumb ass doesn't poach him before you get a chance to hunt him.
Title: Re: Is this a good blackie
Post by: Meat Truck on July 16, 2014, 05:23:18 PM: If you decide he's no good, let me know where he is and I'll take him out. I'm a meat hunter, so I don't mind a little young one like that

Post by: pd on July 22, 2014, 10:13:32 PM: Sorry, but that is not a deer. It is a horse with antlers---you could ride him if you had to.
