Title: 7 x 9 blacktail rack
Post by: crane on April 06, 2011, 11:38:43 AM: Check out this rack hanging in a local home shop near me. From 1965! The tag was only 2 dollars! Pretty cool, the picture with the airhoses is how it is usually used. I was told it is a blacktail. Sorry I don't have any more details, I know absolutely nothing about scoring so I have no clue, just thought it was cool and I would share.

Post by: crane on April 06, 2011, 12:00:58 PM: That's weird? The first pict shows as a red X but if I click it I can see it? :dunno: Yes I believe the owner said blacktail but I will ask him again before I say it is definitely a black tail. It is wide but the tines are a little thin as if it was from a very old buck. There are three "drop" tines on it at least they look like drop tines they stick out from the sides and go down a little but again I know NOTHING about scoring and what not. I thought he said it was from Whidbey Island but he has a bunch of horns in that shop and that may have been another set. I will check, this is hanging in Snohomish county.

Post by: jackmaster on April 06, 2011, 12:06:18 PM: damn nice buck, if it is a blacktail i would be coming up with a cape and having the horns reconditioned and get that baby mounted..... sure looks like a muley though, but i have seen other blacktails that sure looked like muleys but i knew for sure that they were blackies, sure would like to hear the story behind it

Post by: crane on April 06, 2011, 12:48:18 PM: Sorry, I was way way wrong. :bash: I just asked the owner. It was taken in the Mission Creek area south of Cashmere. You are all correct definitely Muley, Sorry.

Post by: halflife65 on April 11, 2011, 05:33:02 PM: I was pretty sure it was a muley when I was looking at it, but that's alright, it's still a really nice buck. Very cool.
