I am very happy to report that on Saturday Nov 28 I took my first Blacktail! We were watching a couple of does feed on some branches through the binos when my buddy said "Theres a buck!" I quietly chambered a round in my old 30-06 and took a long careful aim at the kill zone. (It felt like hours!) I fired from about 60 yds, and put the 150 grain bullet through a 3" space between 2 birch trees, smack dab into his right lung. He ran about 4 yds and fell down stone cold dead. We cleaned him on the spot and carried him to the truck, and celebrated with a few ice cold beers. Big thanks to my hunting partner Albafly, he helped with the dirty work, also a first time for him. We ended the day with a bottle of scotch and a seared backstrap with caramelized onion gravy, roasted garlic potatoes and butternut squash. A green salad was added for good measure.
A day to remember for the rest of my life, Albafly, your turn next!!
Ps, How do I post pics?

Great that you got a BT, now after you sleep off the celebration, e-mail 2 of the best snaps to steeleco@telus.net and I'll post them up.
Or else have a look in the "bugs and glitches" section for info on how to do it.

Congrats! Nice looking buck. Now you're hooked - Blacktails are addictive.
Cheers!

Nice one. I would have been very happy with that. I spotted a monster up there as well on that day. Hoofs the size of cattle, the ground shook as he pounded his way up the trail after he got a good look at me. I should have been in an ambush spot rather than right on the trail.:cry:
great black tail! looks like a fair bit of meat on that guy.
