Nothing huge but my first and second BT's taken from Texada Island.
I have always had good success with Mulies, but coastal Black Tails have done there best at evading me. Well my luck changed.
The deer on Texada where really spooky and without a doubt a majority of them have gone nocturnal. Was talking with a few locals that said the past few weeks have sounded like WW III. Allot our sightings where in the dark driving to and from our hunting area. With the GO for doe season the most easily accesible spots where pretty crowded, But with a little hiking and such dense populations of deer, one cant miss.

On a side note, I found it quite interesting to see the difference in coat color as well as size between the two deer. They where both taken in the same genereal area although there was a creek seperating what looked like two very different ecological "zones".. Dont know if anyone else has noticed this, but sometimes the surrounding forest would look like the Okanagan, rather then the West Coast'
