First picture is a bow kill from 1993. He cored 125 non typical and 116 7/8 typical. He field dressed 200 pounds. Second picture, I do not have any stats on him. He field dressed 196 pounds and was taken on Fort Lewis in 1981.

This Washington coast Blacktail is a long way from 120, but I thought I would post it for a perspective. It scored 103 3/8 gross and field dressed at 202 lbs. Biologist aged it at 7.5 years.  A 120 Blacktail is a monster!

I agree, I'd compare a 120 blacktail to a 180 mule deer. 120 is a big blacktail

Here are the pictures of my dads big blacktail......I am trying to find the paperwork that shows the score.  I will update when I find it. 

Found it.....It grossed 120 5/8 (so I guess it does deserve to be in the thread) and net was 108 0/8. :tup: :tup:

nope, it really shows how a head mount is nicer and picture doesn't do it justice... I didn't get the right shoulder mounted.. here is the camp pic of the one on right for more perspective...

Title: Re: Examples of 120" or better Blacktails
Post by: birddogdad on December 15, 2014, 01:46:42 PM
yes they are... and I will tell you, I didn't get this one mounted as I had seen thru the years several in the area that were bigger... they are out there..... timing is everything.. this one was 3 days into the no trespassing ban on all timber lands due to fire threat a couple years back that lasted from before archery into rifle season.. he made the mistake of not going into nighttime mode for seasons....

Post by: kodiak 907 on December 15, 2014, 01:56:09 PM
Very nice. I always seem to find my bucks fairly close to home in areas that most people drive/walk right past. Either the areas don't get hunted because the brush is too thick or people don't think the bigger bucks hang around the more populated areas. :dunno:

Post by: Atypical on December 16, 2014, 06:01:42 PM
Wow, a lot of incredible blacktails on this thread!

According to my very unofficial score, my buck from this year just makes the cut at 120 1/8 (7" deducted).

Outside spread is 20", tip to tip is 14 7/8", and H1 is 5" on both sides. I counted the second point on the right side as abnormal, since it does not stem the right direction to be a G2. Not sure if that is correct or not.

The first one ruff score 125" the second 118". The third is only 110" with 5 7/8 -5 5/8" bases. The forth is my sons 2014 buck ruff score 121"  the second buck was 218 lbs at the butcher . The two point was aged at 9-10 years old

Just a quick note on this deer, the mount was done in 1983 so over the years the sun has taken a toll on it. amazing how it has faded over time.
