25 WA blacktail

Phenomenal frame on this blacktail, congrats! What are your thoughts on his age? Pics can be deceiving but that face makes me think he’s not to his prime yet.

@skagitsteel

I'm nearly 100% certain he's 4.5, so I'd say in his first prime year based on previous bucks I've watched grow.

Thanks for the response. That was my guess looking at him as well. Awesome buck, congrats again!

I drew a late blacktail “rut tag “ with only a few days to hunt before Montana snd literally not seeing jack up in the snow yesterday I rattled this buck in and didn’t pass him , not huge but a fun hunt

Congrats @JakeLand!  Maybe not your biggest but will still taste good.  Good luck in Montana.

He's got the neck a swelling alright.

Congratulations on a nice blacktail.  Pretty cool that you rattled him in. Congratulations and good luck in Montana.
