Title: Suburban Blacktails
Post by: hunterbuilder on January 03, 2008, 11:26:39 PM: I was browsing through some of my pics on my computer and found a few nice blacktail buck pics I thought I would share. The quality isn't the best (cheap digital camera and lousy photographer) but some nice bucks. All of these bucks are in a private community with no hunting allowed. I'm sure a few of you will know where I took these. This first one was just bedded in someones yard.

Post by: hunterbuilder on January 04, 2008, 10:47:31 AM: And then cut tried to cut him off on the upper road as he followed a doe between some more houses.

I know some of these bucks get hunted at some point when they leave the area. Most of these pics are during the rut with the bucks chasing does. I built houses in this area for years and mostly only saw the big bucks during the rut.

I am glad they have adapted to the houses, but DANG it would be nice to take one of them. I love that big tall one!

Post by: hunterbuilder on January 04, 2008, 05:02:01 PM: This my be my last one. :( I look on my other computer for more. I think this is my favorite buck of the bunch, although the pics do him no justice. He was really symetrical and a lot of mass. His width was nice and has good forks and main beam. Enjoy.

Post by: Ironhead on January 04, 2008, 10:38:02 PM: Hunterbuilder, is that the Skyline development? Looks familiar but it's hard to tell. Awesome pics of some dandy blacktails.
Title: Re: Suburban Blacktails
Post by: hunterbuilder on January 04, 2008, 10:40:59 PM: Not Skyline. Is that in Anacortes? This is farther north.
Title: Re: Suburban Blacktails
Post by: Ironhead on January 04, 2008, 10:42:39 PM: Yea above the marina. I built a few houses in there a couple years back, they have some giant bucks in there too.

you need to go into selling realestate. I think you could charge double what the market would normally be if there are animals like that on the property. :guns: :EAT:
