Title: Blacktail buck in GMU 564
Post by: Pigfuz on November 16, 2014, 10:23:47 PM: Just curious what you guys think. Is this a big backtail or an every day type buck. Not trying to say that any blacktail buck should be considered insufficient considering how elusive they can be. Sorry about the blurry pics.

I do believe that 564 has much bigger, but only because of all the private land to hide out on. ;)

There's hardly any place to hunt in this unit!

Luckily I have a total of 600+ acres that I can hunt. Unfortunately it is not all in one piece. When it comes to this buck he obviously does not have very much mass but I don't think I have ever seen tines that tall on a blacktail.

I would definitely shoot that buck.

600 plus acres?!?! Are you looking for a hunting partner?
