Thanks for the Thread Blacktail Packer. It's fun to see all these great bucks. Congrats to everyone that posted! I don't think there is any big game I have more respect for than a mature blacktail buck after he turns 3-4 years old! :)

Not a problem. I don’t get near as much time chasing them as I used to and I wanted more time then. Gotta do what you can to scratch the Blacktail itch

Great deer!

If you are the same mamba from LS.... holy crap man- that is a toad of a blacky!!!!! What’s the story on him. Mid season or end of rifle season?

That's me. Last day of B zone trying to get Chad P (pictured above ) a Buck.
Decided to try a small valley that looked promising . Only saw half a rack and small section of vital area through the timber. Weve pulled out big deer from the area but this is the biggest so far

A zone. Not big deer, but all three were killed within one hour of each other. It was an epic morning with the pre-rut in full swing

How do you like hunting our little deer compared to whitetail?

It’s a completely different game. I miss big mountains and intense pack outs but I love being able to hunt oct-December and getting 6 deer tags. Whitetail is more about how you hunt than having a honey hole because deer are everywhere here, unlike in CA. They’re both awesome critters and I wouldn’t give up either of them
