Big Blacktails on Trail Camera

[crowlja]

How did you take this photo??

If memory serves me correct...Olympus OMDS mk10, don't recall which lens. I he walk out into a park below me. I was on a little nob, he was maybe 40 yds away. Neighborhood Buck.

I am such a blacktail guy, through and through. So dang these pics keep making me itch to get after em. But I drew a late mule deer tag this year. Would have to be one heck of a blacktail for me to shoot and give up my special tag. Haha. Good thing I have my boy to live through for the general Westside season.

Well it looks like the big buck survived winter and is every bit as big as he was last year. I was able to glass him and a couple of his other 4x4 buddies up two weeks ago but I wasn’t able to close the distance before they fed into the abyss.

That's a stunning Blacktail. I dont think that deer would ever leave my mind

One more of the 4x5. Full moon (and me not having a clue what I’m doing) is the only thing between me and him. I somehow still hunted within about 45 yards of him during archery. First and only time seeing him on the hoof

Also bonus cemetery bucks. By far the biggest blacktail I’ve ever seen, and his buddy isn’t far behind

I love that short, thick blacktail face. Those are incredible bucks.

Nice!

just placed my first cam in blacktail/roosevelt country a few days ago.. the suspense is killing me!

interested in seeing how true it is that big mature bucks dont typically follow well traveled game trails and are more off to the side
