A blacktail is a sub species of a muley aunt it? That's really a nice buck. What is the difference between a black tail and a mule deer?
There what you would consider to be cousins I guess, other than that though there arent alot of similarities.
The rack on the blacktail looks like a white tail rack,maybe a Mt goat got raped by man bear pig and started this unique species.
Nice buck! I hunted Blacktail in S.E. Alaska a couple of years, and on Kodiak island 1 year. I really found them pretty predictable in that area of the country. I can tell you this that is an excellent rack for a Blacktail if it was killed in AK. Up there an 8pt. was a trophy, and there racks were not any bigger than an average young 8pt. scrub bucks that we kill around here.
Great job on the buck's. What part of Washington are they in? I spent about 10 years in Tacoma. we also have a few more members that have lived out that way.
We grew up in Skagit county, my brother is in everett now. He took the blacktail out of concrete.
The muley came out of Winthrop
