My first California Blacktail

[Cameron C]

My brother, Dad and I got out on opening weekend, in California. My brother saw a few doe on the first day, other than that we didn't see anything. Second day, we switched up our game plan. I saw three does within the first 15 minutes, and an hour later saw two bucks. I shot the only one that I had a shot on and it turned out to be a pretty good 4x4. We had it in camp by noon. My brother packed it out for me too!

Also,

Is it a muletail? Or a blacktail?

 

[Mckinnon]

Man, who is that good lookin guy next to you!? Haha, nice job little brother. I am gonna say CA muley or mule tail! Regardless, great buck. And that 30 30 certainly did its work well!

Looks like D zone country? Great buck!

Nice deer! Just depends on where you shot it.

Nice shooting fellas!!!

 

[Cameron C]

chiefhoyt, D-zone is right. That being said, what do you guys think? And thanks Arrowslinger

Congrats on the buck. I really like the old lever action, brings back memories of my first rifle!

D zone holds crosses (mule/blacktail).

 

[Tag stew]

Yup, muley cross. Good Cali buck for sure. Gonna try for one myself this weekend, also backpacking into a Dzone. D3 for us!

Been hunting the same buck in D zone since Aug. He disappeared this weekend but I still think I can get an arrow in him before its over. Looks like you got away from the D zone crowds!

Ha! Manosteel, that's right man. My brother and my dad were telling me my rifle sounds like a loud cough.

Thanks everybody!
