Wild brow tines, blood is part of the process to harvest an animal, don't see it being an issue or is it?

[Brambles]

WOW great brows on him, nice hole in the horn too. cool, thanks

[Muleycatcher]

I dont see it as an issue..it's all part of the harvest, but some people around here seem to be bothered by it..so I thought I would apologize for it in advance.

[Blainer]

Awsome looking buck.
Thanks for sharing

[kloosterboer]

That guy sure has some character. Great Buck!!

[MattB]

Nice bucks, isnt that swordfern in the background...A hope buck?

[Muleycatcher]

might be..he didnt say where he got it..just sent me the pic

[MattB]

Yea, i was just speculating ;-). Has to be somewhere closer to the coast though, swordfern doesnt grow past hope i dont believe...Could be big bar area?

[Marc]

Is that a mule deer or blacktail?

[Dirty]

That looks like a gnarly blacktail buck to me. Sweet brows on that bad boy.

[MattB]

Gotta be a muley, looks to have a shorter face though.

[BlacktailStalker]

Great buck, nice character. Congrats to him.

Way to pay attention in plants class Matt ;)

[pupper]

Yea, its cuz i took it twice for interests sake :cool: jk, only took it once. Had to memorize something like 150 of the %^$$##^& and somehow i still remember.

[Muleycatcher]

Ya it is a blacktail..or hybrid whichever you want to call it.

[M.Dean]

Great buck,nice sized rack! if at all possible we try to clean the animal up a bit before taking the photos, some don't mind the blood but if you want to show the pics off to family and friends there are some that find it distaste full. We try to drag the animal to a clean spot and take lots of pics and then pick out the best ones to show around. The photos you take last forever, take the time to make the deer and you look good! They might end up in Big Buck Magazine!

[Muleycatcher]

well those pics were jsut for his hunting buddies and his whole family hunts..mom included, so he wasnt too worried about it

[Dirty]

That deer has that characteristic blacktail look. The rich mahogany colored antler, consistent mass, and even but short tine length on all forks. It seems like a lot of mainland blacktail antlers look that way.

[MattB]

Damn, thats a wicked blacktail if that is what it is.

[hunter1947]

It is coastal blacktail for sure ,what a beauty ,very nice animal for sure.http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Islandeer]

Blacky of a lifetime, wow!:shock:

[000buck]

Holy Crap!!!! you know the mask!!!!! Nice deer though

[shoot to kill]

beauty! whats he score? how many pts?

[Muleycatcher]

Not sure what it scores..he's not the type of guy to get things scored..so probably never will..as for points I have yet to see the rack in person and he gave very few details in his e-mail..he's a man of few words.:-)

[Dirty]

Looks like he is wearing running shoes. Another lucky road hunter? I might have to hang up the boots and buy some new tires for the truck :smile:

[Muleycatcher]

Nope..he never goes into the bush without his danners on..that i know for a fact!

[kennyj]

Is that a mule deer or blacktail?

My question also.

[Elkhound]
