The purpose of this post wasn't to mislead, but to show off a beautiful animal. If you are offended then kiss my _ _ _!

Great observation Buckmark! He took his boots off on the sled and I was in a hurry to get them back on his feet since it was 9 degrees. :chuckle:

Exactly. This Cascade region BT/MD debate is getting old. That's a great deer. Well done.

well this will get thread jacked pretty quick, i agree but it is a important distinction to make between the two. i hunt pure blacktails and the big buck i shot this year is no comparison to a big buck like hoggsniper's but when measured against other blacktails he's a hog. it all really matters very little how one deer stacks up to another but theres a difference between the species.

You know, with some of the comments that are made by certain people on here Ric. You just have to consider the source.
Post by: Dmanmastertracker on December 13, 2009, 05:31:38 PM
The boundary for Cascade blacktail is the Pacific Crest trail. Have you heard of the word "migration"? Do you honestly think that the deer stop at the PCT and turn around and go the other way when the snow gets too deep? I'll call him a Muley if that will make you happy.
Since the other debate post was locked and since you asked, for myself I would accept the opinion of an officail B&C scorer on the subject and I am not one. Again it is a great deer, muley or blacktail. Based on being harvested in Cowiche, my understanding of the boundary would label it a muley. The purpose of the boundaries is just that, to best define where the majority of that species resides, including migration routes, that is already taken into account of in surveys. Do I think they stray, sure, but I just don't see that as being meaningful to where the "official" boundary is, IMO -I've never seen a deer harvested in N. Bend, Gold Bar, Packwood, and other Western foothill areas called a muley :twocents:. For any who care, here is "official" definition from the State book.

Dman your other comments are completely ignorant and the other debate was locked because it was pointless. Go do some bobcat Id or something benefitial to yourself and give it a break!

Man this is really pretty ridiculous....Great buck and thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the insight. Ric asked a question so I answered and if you care to read I congratulated him several times on his deer. Grow up just a little. >:(
