Title: How big will he be? How many points?
Post by: COUG on July 06, 2009, 12:39:10 PM: Just pulled one of my cameras and saw this guy. Just started blacktail hunting (archery) and this is the biggest I have seen. Can any of you give me perspective if he is gonna be a trophy in the fall?

No I need to start figuring him out a little. Do blacktails respond to rattling?

Yes they respond quite well to rattling and grunting.

Post by: blacktail luv on July 06, 2009, 01:37:29 PM: he looks like he is gonna be a dandy to me. For sure the one side will have 4 points and it looks like a bulb on his right side also, but hard to tell from this angle and it even looks like a double eye guard on the right. He still has a couple months of growing so try to keep track of him. If you get on him early in the archery season he will definitely be more patternable, good luck.

Post by: Dmanmastertracker on July 06, 2009, 03:23:49 PM: If you can find him again in the Fall, you'll have a nice P&Y blacktail. I've seen one similar that I hope to find when rifle opens up, not holding my breath though.

Post by: Dmanmastertracker on July 06, 2009, 08:03:32 PM: Damn dude, if you don't pull a buck out of that patch this year, then you just plain didn't let the arrow fly -of course they do tend to disappear come Sept. ;). lot's of nice critters.

Post by: alanger on July 06, 2009, 08:36:36 PM: I'm saying 4x4 with eye guards.

Post by: bow4elk on July 06, 2009, 08:49:40 PM: Great genes for early back forks in that area. He looks to be a solid 4x5 and a shooter blacktail by any standard. Good luck and keep posting pics as they continue to grow.
