That is one of the nicest blacktails I've seen. You can tell in the pic he's got a heavy body. Nice going.

Have you tried the 190 or 210 Berger?

You should be proud! Beautiful animal and awesome shot!!!!

 

[lovdasnow]

yes and they shot good, but i couldn't get them to feed from the mag, and I wanted to be able to do that. that's why i'm shooting the 185's, and it doesn't hurt that the 185's shoot awesome, and they are also moving along pretty stinking fast

That's one of the bigger blacktail bucks I've ever seen someone post. Excellent shot and congrats!

Awesome blacktail. I bet everyone wants to know where you shot your buck.

Very very nice!!

I especially like the part where you got the jitters then controlled them. The largest deer I've shot at, before LRH and some age , died of old age because I couldn't control the jitters. Congratulations!!!

That is one awesome blacktail!

The hardest part sometimes is forcing yourself to calm down before a long shot with that kind of an animal in your scope and wondering how much time you have before he disappears! You know you can't rush the shot or you may never see him again.
