That is a rare and magnificent trophy. Were you hunting an area with or without large brown bears?

I'm from Alaska, my first post on here so I'd figure you guys wouldn't mind me dropping a pic or 2 of my personal best Sitka blacktail. I've taken many 4 points. But finally found the one I been after for years. He'll score decent. Hint. 5x5

welcome from Montreal

Welcome to LRH, that's a great deer. I'm envious, only been to Alaska once on a great DIY moose hunt.

Nice buck. "Welcome". You can learn a lot here.

I saw your buck at your grandmothers house I went hunting with your dad this year

Thankyou brother. Yes first thing that came to mind is what he would've looked like hard horned in September or October/November

Thankyou very much brother. Yes very rare for a Sitka blacktail. I don't think I'll ever shoot one as big as this ever again. Cheers. Happy hunting!

Thankyou very much brother. He will be mounted with velvet on! Not many people understand how rare it is for a Sitka blacktail to get this size. Don't think I'll ever top this one. Cheers. Happy hunting! And this was taken in SE Alaska no brown bears

I've never shot a 6.5 CM, but it appears to work up yonder. Congrats on your personal best....so far.

Welcome from south Texas. It's already been over 100 degrees here. I'll bet it ain't nowhere close in your home state of Alaska.

I'm hoping to get there someday, if I don't get old first.

I usually shoot a .308, .243 or .7mm-08 for blacktails and black bears. First time trying out the 6.5CM and I can't complain. Wow amazing weather it has barley broke 50 degrees here so far. When it's not raining here, it's paradise for fishin and hunting. I hope to make it Texas one day to do the same! Happy hunting. Cheers brother

Wowsers!!! That's a heck of an introduction
