Title: Re: Mule or blacktail : )
Post by: Red Dawg on January 24, 2010, 02:08:22 PM: what do you we think we got for a spread on the ears here. 1.1" or so. I would also go with bench with that guess. Would have to be more like 1.3 to be mulie.

Post by: Dmanmastertracker on January 26, 2010, 09:16:45 AM: Definitely a mature blackie, I see swollen tarsal's, must be rutted up something fierce... I've seen two mature blackie's like that recently going toe to toe over a doe, they must have pushed each other 3-4 inches, amazing power in those critters. :chuckle:

Post by: halflife65 on January 28, 2010, 08:37:11 PM: I got one of those on a high hunt (top shelf in the garage) this year. Brutal pack - I had to stand on top of the step ladder to get him out.

Post by: boneaddict on January 29, 2010, 09:04:06 AM: You're only half way there, you'll need at least another 10 to even be in the running. You might have enough fro a cowtag now though. ;)

Post by: NWBREW on January 29, 2010, 10:10:00 AM: Amatuers........try sneaking up on a whole herd of them. I know, I know...it's dangerous but you gotta do what you gotta do to get the shot. Luckly they were bedded and didn't see me coming. :chuckle:

I used to trap them, now my girls have 2 rats that they got for x-mas. Now I'm paying to feed them on purpose. Its surprising how smart Rats are, and affectionate, who would'a thought :chuckle:

Post by: Skyvalhunter on January 29, 2010, 12:13:08 PM: Bone do you have a picture of the tail? The only way you can honestly tell a true blacktail is by the tail. It has awfully big ears maybe it's a benchleg!!! :chuckle:
Title: Re: Mule or blacktail : )
Post by: halflife65 on January 29, 2010, 02:21:08 PM: Everyone is SO opinionated on how you hunt these things. It's MY way or the highway, you say. Well, I think that we all need to stick together - whether you're trapping them, whacking them with sticks, poisoning them or whatever. The anti-mousers are just trying to divide us... :chuckle:

I'm pretty the one I got was a benchleg.

Yes. I'm pretty. Pretty ugly. *censored*. It sucks when your fingers fail to follow orders. Sometimes it can land you in jail, even.

Post by: boneaddict on January 30, 2010, 06:07:26 AM: There is controversy on here whether or not baiting is a legit hunting tactic. I was somewhat against it only in th efact I hadn't tried it, so I decided to take a gander. Sure enough, the buck walked right up to my bait station and I snapped a pic. I need to work out the trail cam though as laying there on the ground waiting got to be kinda uncomfortable.

Title: Re: Mule or blacktail : )
Post by: halflife65 on January 30, 2010, 07:11:15 AM: Great pics. In the past, when I've been my own trailcam, I've taken a barbeque, radio and a lawnchair. It really helped to pass the time. Of course, I've never posted a pic in the trail cam section...

Hehehe...this is continuing to get better. The pics are great but your commentary is pissing my wife off because I'm laughing loud enough to bother her.
