Monstrous blacktail taunting me

[26Reload]

150" easily as a 3x4....close to 160" if he had the other tine.....
There's a good pool of big blacktails wandering around by North Bend Medical Center during the rut.....some really big boys.....
I scored a car killed buck near shady cove that was 151"...died under a guys deck....
Big body..probably 200#....city deer....

Deer like that is what gets one out of bed early in the morning, I had a encounter with this guy last year about this same time, he had 5 or 6 does with him that kept him busy,

I killed a 143" deer not far from shady cove, and have seen some serious bruisers come from that general area

All the blacktail I used to see in Washington state were nothing like that.

Couple city bucks. I've seen taller and wider around 5000' elevation but the mass these city bucks have is crazy. Seems there's more mass up north but bigger racks the farther south you go. Average blacktail around here may not get wide or tall but they're thick.

Yep. See this guy regularly in my yard in Lake Forest Park, WA. He's just starting to come into his prime as he was just a forky last year.

GF sent me this photo from Nov 1, the day after deer closed. Close to her barn. When I rifle hunted elk (early Nov in WA)we always saw the big ones. This one isn't too great but hasn't seen him till then.

WA record BT is impressive. I didn't know they could get that wide and tall.

My target blacktail had no pattern and was strictly nocturnal, but he appeared one morning a few weeks ago.... The old Henry 357 did the job.

That's a good sized ol boy! I'd have a hard time not finding a way to make him wall decorations.

The day after rifle deer season ended, my mom sent me this picture from her front yard. If you've ever dealt with Columbia blacktail, you'll know how truly enormous this thing is.

Giant!

I don't want to make you feel worse, but it looks like he is smiling in the picture!

Not sure what's cooler, the buck or the rifle

The Buck, money can buy a rifle, but it wont necessarily buy you a buck like that one,
