A hypothetical: for a US "Big 3 Deer Slam"

[Scoot]

Mere mentions of the southern Jackalope disqualifies you from the slam. I'm sorry but I don't make the rules.

Even if it's the limp-eared subvariant???

I would say there are 5… since P&Y and B&C classify them. Columbia Blacktail, Sitka Black tail. Whitetail, Coues, Mule deer.

Would love to get after Sitkas, but the hunts are like a billion dollars

 

[Lou (Louis)]

If you're separating Colombia BT from mulies then I'd imagine you'd have to separate Coues from Eastern WT's as well. Having hunted both, Coues are a completely different style than Easterns and I wouldn't put them anywhere near the same category.

Blacktail (along with WT) is the ancestor of Muleys.

What? I did Sitka DIY for dirt cheap. Tags are OTC, not guide needed, and tons of deer. One of the cheapest out of state DIY hunts you can do.

I can’t figure out if your just trying to get a rise, or just to uneducated on this, but doing even a little research seems like it would do you a lot of good.

I was referencing guided, which approach elk pricing (at least the ones that I’ve researched).
With me, what you see is what you get. No hidden agendas.
EDIT: I must admit to being a tad disappointed with the few snarky remarks that I’ve received here.
I am here to learn. If that bothers you, just put me on ignore. Problem solved

Yeah, I’m really not sure why some people are acting so offended and so butt hurt about your inquiry. Maybe they have not been able to get out much and they are feeling pent up??

A coues is a whitetail subspecies so, YES, it counts. Do your slam without any shame or need to justify anything. Show us your deer when you get one!

If you really want a whitetail, come to Texas or Arkansas and I’ll get you on one for free.

One of the few redeeming qualities of WA, we can hunt WT, BT and mulies OTC.

If you come to Washington make sure you have a bear tag. I’m filling mine easily every year by spot and stalk, they’re everywhere cause the department won’t manage them. And partly due to that we’re seeing less and less blacktails every year. I’ve seen more bears than legal bucks the last 5 years.

What do you mean by burro deer? Never heard of them...

5? That's gonna be hard AND expensive.

I knew that, but didn’t know that it is also an alternative name for muleys, in general (which makes sense).

Yes, I was calling them PNW Whitetail, I couldn't remember what they were called.

Burro deer are like the Coues version of a Mule deer.

Gotcha. We also have regular Whitetail in eastern Washington. I thought that's what you were referring too.

Nice!

If you know a guy who says he has horses and you go over to his house to find out its a couple Shetland ponies in the yard, it would feel a little off. Technically he's not wrong, but when you think horse...
I feel like a lot of people back east would say the same about a coues deer on the wall if you said you had a killer whitetail mount. Not that it's demeaning the hunt, just not the same thing.
