2024 Blacktail bucks

[Taudisio]

Thanks everyone. Truly lucky that I ran into him. Guessing he will go in the 130’s. I’m hoping he makes 135 so I can have my name in B&C. That would be pretty sweet, obviously not necessary.

My self control ran out this morning

Almost shot a big one in the fog this morning but I got stuck in the open and I had no shot… one more step would have got him killed

He was 70ish yds and I would have had to shoot off hand, so I was waiting for him to expose his body

Started out rough with people, and now I’m in a pickle that can only be solved by walking a lot

Very nice buck! Is that a RSS 223 shooting 77gr TMKs? Our shot placement looks very close, I’d like to compare notes as I was using a 6x45 shooting 87gr vmax. Was yours quartering? How far did he make it? Good blood trail? Internal damage?

Good on ya!, my self control would have gone by the wayside with that buck as well. Awesome buck congrats

How do you like that scope? My dad just got that one, mounting it up for him now. I might pick on up as well

I would just like to find a B&C quality buck that wasn’t living by house and lived in the spots I hunt. That’s rad I’m sure you were pumped when you saw him
