20” 2x3. Biggest buck to date for me, both body and rack. Found him while still hunting a nice windy afternoon

A zoner, first buck for my boy. He slipped us opening morning, caught him heading out the next night. Proud Dad moment for sure.

Holy cow, congratulations to him! The rest of his hunting career may prove to be rather disappointing

I was extremely lucky this year. It never would have happened without great friends and family.

California A zone south, private land. He was already rutty and messing with a doe sept 7, which got him killed. Should have already been across the fence to the neighbors but made one last stiff legged pass at his doe

Nice work guys! Packing into the Sierras on Friday for 5 days of chasing them. Main goal is to help fill my good friends sons first deer tag. Anything more than that is icing on the cake! Hopefully be back here to add some pics to the thread!

My first blacktail buck, a 4x3, used my .375 Ruger, was fun!

Got in California's northern A zone back in August.

Good luck! Get an OTC bear tag too just in case if you like, the Sierra certainly has black bears.

Took my son to Kodiak to get his first Sitka Blacktail. He shot a couple and I took a day to bowhunt. Some good mass on the one I killed!

That was enough meat for the C-206 without upgrading to a Beaver so we didn’t shoot more- Then we got stuck in a tent rain/fog/wind for a couple days trying to get picked up- Par for the course on Kodiak
