Title: My First Biggest Washington Columbian Blacktail deer
Post by: grunt11B on November 22, 2010, 08:01:06 PM: Hello everyone, I'm a new member to this website. I finally had the opportunity to hunt on Oct 30Th after a year long deployment to Afghanistan. Me and my buddy had plan this on every patrol we had. It was an early morning, I waited for the go time, so I decided to scout out the nearby areas, but I only found beddings and tracks. So I heard a shot and I assumed my buddy was the lucky one. I started to walk back to our meeting area when I spotted a doe 250 meters away. I used the brush line to cover my movement and I looked through my binos to confirm the does. I continued to observe the does when I noticed them constantly looking at the treeline, so I observed what they were looking at. I saw a deer figure, but he was 450 meters away and moving rapidly to the does position, so I crept closer to get a better look. I now closed the gap to 200 meters from the does when I took another glanced at the approaching deer, that's when I noticed his impressive rack. When he approached the does I waited for the doe to move and he expose his broad side, that's when I took the shot. He did a 360 and down he went.

Post by: Wanttohuntmore on November 23, 2010, 05:11:32 AM: Wow, huge blacktail! Congrats, and thanks for your service too! Like cooneyes said, better stop hunting blacktails, cause if you try and beat that, it'll be a LONG time before you even see a deer that big. Switch to muleys or whitetails next year, do that for a few years, then come back to blackies when you're ready again! I blew it on a huge blackie last year, didn't get the shot, and I'm haunted now.....

Post by: Bean Counter on November 23, 2010, 12:10:12 PM: Congrats on the buck and thank you for your service to our country.

I'm very confused by your choice of adjectives. If its your first BT deer, then wouldn't a small spike be the biggest also? Or should you say "my first BIG blacktail"?
