Been seeing more and more of those in the Chelan Mountains, not good for the genetics! Seen some huge bucks, until you realize the size of head and width of the ears is 16"-17". Don't ask me how I know lol
There's more to this story......Pics or it didn't happen!! :chuckle: :chuckle:

This is in an area that should be Muleys only, but I agree, there are a lot of blacktail traits in this deer.

Odocoileus hemionus, showing phenotypic traits intermediate between O.h.hemionus and O.h.columbianus

YA, What he said... :chuckle:

Ok OK DL.... :chuckle:I killed one in Hay Canyon during late archery about 15 years ago that was by all appearances a "pure" blacktail doe - pointy face, small ears, very brown coat and a pure black tail the size and shape of my hand.

Taxonomy
Though the black-tailed deer arguably is a species, virtually all recent authorities maintain it as a subspecies of the mule deer (O. hemionus).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Strictly speaking, the black-tailed deer group consists of two subspecies, as it also includes O. h. sitkensis (the Sitka deer).[2] The black-tailed deer group and the mule deer group (sensu stricto) hybridize, and mule deer appear to have evolved from the black-tailed deer group.[6] Despite this, the mtDNA of the white-tailed deer and mule deer are similar, but differ from that of the black-tailed deer.[6] This may be the result of introgression, although hybrids between the mule deer and white-tailed deer are rare in the wild (apparently more common locally in West Texas), and the hybrid survival rate is low even in captivity.[4][6]

I believe its being considered a new species of deer. Its home range is within a 2 hour driving radius of Portland, OR, any direction. This varies depending on the speed limit and which route you take. All bucks are Boone and Crockett, Pope and Young or SCI record book caliber. Unfortunately, its not found on public ground, only private. You can tell you've harvested one of these rare beasts if it smells like ferns, cedar boughs and bull feces.

I've been in Idaho more than once and was told there were to many blacktails in the area. I'm a firm believer that dumb people have dumb thoughts.
An old man that lives in 121 and has a lot of killer property insists that the mule deer on his property are not mule deer, theyre blacktail. He says the state transplanted blacktail there back before he was born. His dad told him that, therefore its true :chuckle:
