Holy Buck Antlers Batman!!  3 bucks that nice all together, hmmm almost like muleys.  
However, one of them would be dinner if I saw them in season!!!!!!  And yes, they do get that big here, I have seen bigger,  just more brush for them to hide in.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Grants Pass man cited in killing of trophy-class Blacktail deer
by The Oregonian
Wednesday May 13, 2009, 1:13 PM

Oregon State Police
"Goliath" grazes near Grants Pass-area home.
A Grants Pass man is facing wildlife charges in the killing of a trophy-class Blacktail deer buck last November.

The 6x8 point deer, known as Goliath, had roamed and grazed in the backyards of local residents near Grants Pass for about five years before he was illegally killed by an archer around November 15, 2008.

Oregon State Police Fish & Wildlife Division launched an investigation after an anonymous tipster reported that the deer's antlers were at a local taxidermist shop.

The antlers pointed police to John Joseph Costello, 54, of Grants Pass, who was cited Monday in Josephine County Circuit Court for the unlawful taking of a Blacktail deer, unlawful hunting by a prohibited method and for not having a valid deer tag.

OSP Senior Trooper Brad Bennett asks tipsters to phone in additional information to assist in the investigation at (541) 955-6374.

One more reason to not feed.  Acclimating big, meaty animals to humans, especially if they have exceptional trophy quality, just makes the poacher's goal easy to attain.  Wildlife should be kept wild.  This happens over, and over, and over, everywhere people feed deer and elk.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

That buck looks like the ones that hang around Wallowla (sp?) lake. You can walk right up to em. First time I was there, I saw like a 7 year old kid petting a 170 buck. Im pretty sure they are all muleys around the lake though.

Nice. But I think they need a different class. Im with houndhunter. I dont see were bucks like that are the same as our "true" Blackies with good mass and super dark antlers. Those are surely cross bred and look more like Mulies than blackies anyday. I realise that the books class them as blackies, but not like the Blackies I hunt from Quilisene to coil.

Yeah, Wallowa campground has got some super mulies haning around in it.  Nice place to take the eastern relatives that come to visit so they can see what a mule deer looks like.  Carefull feeding them though... My wife and I saw some dude feeding cheetos to a big non-typical.  He ran out of chow, and the deer chased him around his camper a couple of times before he could get inside :chuckle:  Deer seemed upset.

I love it when I see remarks  by Washington guys who still think that this state dosnt produce bcks of that quality. Do people still need to be reminded of a guy named Lester Miller. :dunno:

they do have different "kinds" of blacktail. if you look in the washington record books they have three sub- species. there is the columbia, coastal, and cascade. these are either columbia or cascade. there habitat is more like a mulies and there genetics might have a little mulie blood too.
