My 130 inch from 2013
-
140 4/8 gross
-
Not here. Lots of mature animals but no high scores....
-
2011
-
Same buck on level ground.
-
2007 - 1st or 2nd largest bodied blacktail I've taken and likely just past his prime. Opening day, probably at least 3 weeks prior to when the rut normally starts. The next pic shows how absolutely huge his neck and body was.
-
Huge neck and incredible shoulders on this particular buck. He made my knife and saw seem inadequate.........LOL.
-
Wrapped up and ready to roll on my elk cart with a few miles yet to go. His rack was Sitka-esque in color and shape. Most deer get pretty slim and 'snakey' lookin' when gutted.....not this guy. This was a very fun, tough and memorable hunt.
-
Just prior to his 'taxi' ride.....
-
Some really great bucks on this thread :tup:
-
Good Stuff SD!
-
Sweet bucks Sundance!
-
2012 General Archery. Never had him scored but he was a good one.
-
OK Sundance, 2014 OTC, muzzleloader
-
:yike:
-
Any other pics of that brute?
-
2010...Not sure of score, but think he's close
-
Hey I can dream, 2015 is going to see very limited time for both deer and elk this year.
-
Mmmmm, I love how you guys rub salt in the wounds. Nice bucks gentlemen!
-
Ok. I'm going to fire up a few people and maybe start an argument, but any pics of bucks with pine or oak trees in the background are disqualified! :chuckle: Nice bucks everyone!
-
The last I checked this thread was for Washington blacktail right?and why start hating or disputing other people's trophies
-
Here's my biggest. 132 7/8" gross. Hoping to top him this year with a bow! :IBCOOL:
Here's the video of the hunt:

Link it's posts like yours that almost make me hate posting pictures and stories. I know people are going to have there different opinions. But I'm very sure that most people on this forum already know that I-5 is the boundary for Columbia blacktail ad Cascade blacktail. But with that being said I can tell you this I have never seen a mule deer anywhere close to where I harvested my buck.
-
OK Sundance, 2014 OTC, muzzleloader
wow! That's monster :tup:
-
Great video Shane (and awesome buck). I first saw that a few months back just browsing YouTube.
-
There are pine trees and oak trees on the peninsula.
-
Those have been transplanted there within just the last few days........ ;).

145 7/8

2013 Buck. Late archery general tag. Old beast was on his way out. 89" net.

I didn't mention your buck. Your picture only shows a head. Where did you get that? And by the way I-5 isn't the columbian blacktail boundary, its basically the crest of the cascades. Its kind of hard to describe without a map, but it runs down the spine of the cascades to Mt. Rainier park, along the west boundary of the park, then south.

Looks bigger than the score.

Very cool buck Labredog! Tall as hell!

"Beginning at the Washington-British Columbia border, the boundary line runs south along the west boundary of North Cascades National Park to the range line between R10E and R11E, Willamette Meridian, which is then followed directly south to its intersection with the township line between T18N and T17N, which is then followed westward until it connects with the north border of Mt. Rainier National Park, then along the north, west and south park boundaries until it intersects with the range line between R9E and R10E, Willamette Meridian, which is then followed directly south to the Columbia River near Cook"
You can find historical maps online which show the township boundaries mentioned between NCNP and MRNP, and last time I looked it is east of the eastern border of MRNP.
-
There's definitely a grey area all along the western slope of the cascades. I don't think 1-5 should be the boundary, but I think the crest is a bit far east. We all know there are cross deer all up and down the cascades on the west side, and east side for that matter.

What would make you possibly think he was referring to your buck? There are no pine trees or oaks in any of your pics. Why so defensive? Beautiful bucks by the way.

I apologize I believe when I wrote that I confused myself with the Boone and Crockett Roosevelt elk boundary I believe.? Sorry about that my bad. You are right the Pacific crest trail is really the boundary line. I know either way Boone and Crockett doesn't recognize Cascade blacktail as a category. But with that being said all the bucks posted are amazing in there own right! I truly am sorry for posting something before getting my facts right.
-
A friend took this one. Scored a touch over 142 :tup:
-
Thanks. I know some people hate boiling them, but sometimes they come out pretty good :tup:
-
I've had good success boiling them. You just have to make sure you don't leave them in the hot water too long, the bone starts to come apart.
-
My 145 7/8 is net score. Gross score 149 6/8. Not quite 150 but close enough for me. And I have seen a few bucks bigger than mine from the same area. There is a great gene pool that is just not being hunted that much. Last year I was scouting this same area I watched a sow with three cubs playing, and less than 200 yards away from the bears was a monster 4X4 and a 2pt that was probably well over 24 wide and TALL.

Beautiful buck and even more beautiful video!

I don't know the score of any of these but I wanted to share. These are a few that my parents have taken over the years.
This is Clyde, so named by the folks who stopped by after my parents got him to the road. A friend of the passersby had shot at him with a 45 and put a hole in his ear. I've always been impressed by Clyde.

This next one my mom shot in 2003, only a forky but nice mass and lengths. Wider and taller than Clyde.

Any other pics of that brute?
Sorry Link I thought responded, Sundance did a great job on the the Euro while showing me how to DIY. I haven't had it officially scored, but if I do it should make "book", want to guess? For ref, the boy is 6'1" broad shoulders and XL mits. Geographically well west of I5

Sure, I'll throw out a guess. Its so hard scoring from a pic, but I'd say he grosses 150 and nets about 141.
Here's my blacktail from last year. It grossed just under 140 and netted about 136.
-
Actually, I think your buck may be a bit better than that! :chuckle: :dunno: Loooong points!
-
:yeah: Quite a bit longer tines!
I'm blown away that that deer was out walking around like nobodies buisness west of I-5 in WA. CA and Southern OR - I could choke it down a little easier. You gotta get that thing scored - that buck is probably cursing you from deer heaven for taking so much time to measure his massive endowment! (plus - we want to know too.)
-
Here are some of my blackies.
-
Love blacktails.
-
Found this years mark. Bigger than my other ones by far. No time to count points, but he sure was thick and wide.
-
Biggest blacktail to I've ever taken. No idea on the score.
-
Awesome deer and awesome first post.
-
It was on Whidbey island.
