I don't know Blacktails too well but I believe that is HUGE for a blacktail, shoot that's big for a whitetail around here! Congrats.

Awsome Blacktail Buck and Bow....  I should be getting my Elite VL by next fall.  Most beautiful bows I've ever laid eyes on.  Congrats.... That's one of the nicest blacktail bucks I've seen lately.  Good Job of breaking the bow in..   Jeff

Thanks folks! I was so pumped last night I could hardly sleep.

The bow is a Blacktail Elite VL, Bocote riser and linbs with Cocobolo feet on both the riser and limbs. 60#'s @ 29"  Douglas Fir arrow with a Wensel Woodsman doing the dirty work.

When I got home yesterday with my buck I had a dandy of a Blacktail buck in the yard tailgating one of our local girl's. I'll post a pic of him, he's a beauty! The buck's are rutting hard around here right now, I LOVE this time of year.   :readit:

Way to go Ron! I was wondering how your hunting was going. Nice way to start your Thanksgiving. Had a couple of opportunities but, fate was not on my side for my first blacktail. Get with me and I'll give you the details. Congrats again....Sarge

Wow Ron , great buck , congratulations.
I was thinking of you and the rain this last week , boy has it been coming down . Bucks are rutting hard over on this side as well . I went to my fathers house last Monday and as I pulled into his drive there was a big 4x4 mounted on a doe right in the drive, good to know he is passing the genes.

Yep, that is the typical color of blacktail antlers. Blacktails may not be as big as other deer, but to my eye they are the prettiest.

The buck's around here usually have dark antlers. Their preferred bush/tree of choice is red willow.

Here's a buck I caught on my trailcam last week. I thought it might be the buck I killed, but the left antler is different. But his antler's are reddish brown. I think the flash and night time wetness make them even more red?
