Thanks guys, glad everyone likes the Blacktail bucks!  I'm a little biased, but I consider a mature Blacktail the most handsome of the deer species.

Well, its not an in the woods hero pic (can't find any) but he is the biggest I have taken.

He is a ten pt.  Can't see g4 on the right and g2 on the left. 164 3/8 Final P & Y score.  He missed going B & C due to side to side disparity.  22.5" inside, 4.5 yrs old.  G2 on the right beam is 14"

I have to tell you all, the first time I saw him was at about 20 yds going away slowly.  Ya all know what a going away big deer looks like?  A freakin Elk...  I shook so bad I almost hit the ground.  At my age this is likely to be my best deer ever. This is the deer in my avatar

Slayer:

I actually went back and paced it off....  Was too "nuts" up when I shot him.

16 yards.. wide open broadside and had no idea I was there.  Oh yea, on the ground.

Honestly, I spent the next two plus years not much interested in the bucks I saw.  That was awhile ago now. It passed the next year.

Thanks guys.  He is on the wall right behind me as I write this.  "Slick", my nick name for him, watches everything.

He was/is an amazing animal.

As I said above, at my age etc, I will not likely beat him.

Hayslope:  back when I was a kid there was a buck this big just south of Nyack on the NY/NJ line off 9W.  I never heard of anyone getting him.  He lived on both sides of the line.  That was back about 62 or so.

Izzy:

Yea, my buds that are still in Bergen Co, NJ tell me they see a lot of good deer up around the state line.

I would love to come back and hunt that area in Rockleigh, NJ. or even around the line at Tappan.

Longbowben:

Yep, I got one here also.  I have had him at 12 yards twice but had does with eyes on me both times.  No one "blew out" and the last time I saw him was the last day of archery season and he was healthy as a horse which is what he looks like.  I would guess him at about 165+. Heck, he is hangin around the same area I got "Slick" in. Looks kinda like him but he is really balanced.

The down side is I saw my good eight tonight in the "back yard".  He has droped his head gear but his limp has gtten worse.  It looks like his lower right front leg is broken. Its not at an angle but it does seem loose and he does not want to put any weight on it. He is a good young buck and I hope he gets by.  Likely he will have an off developed rack because of this.

I hate it when this happens.....
