Late Season Blacktail
« on: November 22, 2009, 11:13:00 AM »
Shot this guy opening morning.  Was in a treestand for a couple of hours and didn't see anything so I got down and still hunted the edge of the timber.  Saw him trailing a doe and she passed by me at 20 yards or so and lead him right past me.  Shot with my 53# River's Edge recurve, a Wal-Mart carbon arrow and a Woodsman head on a 100 grain steel insert.

 

Good luck to all.

Nice Buck. I've always thought that  pics. of a blacktail buck are so cool. Their antlers have that nice chocolate color and the color of their face makes for a great picture.

Beautiful Buck. Congrats

Great buck Stan! Congratulations.   :thumbsup:    :clapper:

I was only able to get out for a couple of hours yesterday and seen a nice fat doe but, no bucks. I spooked her on my way to the area I hunt on the other side of Lebanon.

Stan,

That is a great blacktail. Do you have a side profile pic of him also ? I have had my trali cam out in my BT spot but seem to be getting more elk than deer pics. Congrats on a very nice deer.  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :jumper:    :jumper:

Very nice Blacktail,,, you sure never see any that size during "Daylight" in my neck of the woods. Sure nice to have the Rut change their normal habbits.
