[Talondale]

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.

[Ray Hammond]

Way to go, TreeKiller. fine buck. I like that bow too.

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

[BMOELLER]

I'm jealous.  I love those blacktail bows. Just wish I could afford one.  Oh yeah, beautiful buck.

[Tree Killer]

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.

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

TK! TAKE ME HUNTING !!!  that's a fantastic animal!
Congrats and good shooting!  
I am headed out for a farm land doe tomorrow morning.

[Ted Fry]

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.

Wow look how dark their horns are. is that typical?

Very nice Tree Killer although I really think you need to change your handle to "dandyblacktailkiller" LOL

Congrats on an awesome hunt      

[Rooselk]

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.

[Deer Slayer]

Yeah I love the dark antlers of those Blackies! And that buck Of Tree Killer's is a REALLY nice buck by blacktail standards! Anyone who has been-a-huntin'em for any length of time will tell ya that! Way to go on harvesting a real beaut!

[Tree Killer]

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?

[razorsharptokill]

What a chocolate rack! Looks ggod enough to eat!

[Terry Riley]
