Blacktail of a lifetime!

[Brew]

I work in the bush everyday and always have my rifle and pack so I can hunt the evenings. Friday afternoon I was working close to a hunting spot of mine that I have hunted for 4 years. I know exactly where the does hangout and 2 years ago I messed up on a cranker buck that has haunted me since. Since then I have hunted bobcats and deer there extremely hard and have not been able to connect but have learned a lot about this little area.
The plan was to drive into my parking spot and go for a hike around the bedding grounds. As I round the switchback and my parking spot in sight I see a mature bodied deer trotting with his nose to the ground only 50 yard from the road. The body alone made me think shooter for sure. I stopped the truck got out and loaded a shell into my 35 Whelen. The buck is still moving and not noticing me. I burped at him and he stopped. BANG! Perfect shot the deer is down but still kicking all over. One more to put him out.
in the scope I saw that he had a big rack. It looked like a giant three pointer. As I walked up to this deer he kept getting bigger and bigger and to my surprise he was a perfect 4x4. I have shot a few animals in my hunting career and even though he was a gimme deer next to the road I have never been so jacked in my life. Animals never come this easy for me especially ones of this calibre. I snapped a couple photos where he lay but I will have to post those up another day. I will post a couple iPhone photos and a bunch of photos that Bigboar took back at his place. I would like to thank Dave (Bigboar) for all his help Friday night. He took lots of great photos and also helped me cape and quarter the buck. Thanks again buddy. Your truly a great hunting partner.
This buck was shot well within the blacktail boundary. The hide is already at Ray Wiens taxidermy awaiting a full body mount. So here are some pics of my dream blacktail. I hope you all enjoy the photos. More photos added on page 6

Beauty BT! What a rack!

[4 point]

WOW way to go.

[Steeleco]

Wow that is a pig. Let us know what it scores at, looks like it's got 115 in the bag. Congrats

[blackbart]

Nice buck. You better get the wet wipes out cause you are about to get spunked on by PG66.

[TheProvider]

Hog of a BT

[Kody94]

Wow...thumper buck! Congrats!!!

[Bc Deer Hunter]

That is a huge blacktail, good on ya!! what did he score?

[Brew]

He was definitely a warrior. His right ear is all torn up from fighting and he has a nice scar across his big donkey face.

[Brew]

Not sure about his measurements. We put the scull straight into the beetles to get cleaned up. I can't wait till those bugs are finished eating to put a tape on him.

[1980skywalker]

150ish would be my guess, an absolute monster and a dream buck for sure!

[coach]

Incredible blacktail! Congratulations, Brew. I'm betting there's more than a few jealous guys who'll be drooling all over themselves when they see these pics. Well done!

[Pioneerman]

Lol
Just answering Last Lights question!

[last light]

Thanks T-Bone! Appreciate the answer. Book deer for sure.

[Brew]

I’ve been trying for another big one but nothing yet. Used one tag up on a 3x2 with my 4 year old daughter with me. Saving the last tag for a big one.
When your four year old spots a buck on her first time out and tells you to shoot-you shoot. Most memorable hunt so far.
the. The buck I was after got shot a day after I took the buck with my daughter. The hunter got him 100 yards of my camera

[~T-BONE~]

Brew - lets see this buck you were after?

[wos]

Wow great buck! That should make the book fir sure

[Chopper]

Not many of those getting taken. Hopefully not your “Buck of a life time” ;D looking forward to the measurements. Some pics look like it could push 150.

im gonna guess some where in the low 140’s

[Arctic Lake]

Geeeezzzzz What beaut !
Arctic Lake

[REMINGTON JIM]

Well Brew any OFFICIAL Score ? :grin: RJ

[Islandeer]

Next level for sure. The numbers compare similar class bucks, but this is a one in ten thousand blacktail. Nothing will ever compare to this one. He was a monarch!!

[BStrachan]

Wow what a brute! Great buck man congrats!

[Razor84]

I think you should post up a pic of the full body mount!!!!
