Another successful trip to my treestand this season in BC region 2.
Coastal Blacktails are my favorite eating deer. I've been hunting the same spot for 22 years now and the deer populations seem healthier than ever.
Almost every doe seen had at least one healthy fat fawn in tow and saw a few twins and triplets as well.
Due to my continual loss of physical capabilities due to my disabilities this hunt would not have been possible without my brother (vwnotcher) and my good friend Tony.
This first buck is an anomaly..... it is huge and Tony guessed 400 pounds on the hoof but I can't see that.... I figure 250+ and is the biggest bodied deer I have ever had to get down off the mountain. He is surely a Mulie/Blacktail hybrid and his 3x2 rack some of the thickest beams I have seen as well. Gorgeous deer and I was stoked to have him in my sights.
Second deer is an even 2x2 and is of typical size for a healthy 3 year old(?) blacktail from the area.
Was a fun trip ..... and I can't wait till next year!!! Hopefully I can still get back in there next year as every year proves more difficult for me.
I am very grateful to have a spot like this to share with my friends and family after years of keeping it just to myself.

those are such huge animals.
What does something like that weigh?
Is that a bullet hole right between the eyes?
I dunno about everyone else but I'd love to hear the story of that hunt.
Will never get to hunt in exotic places at this stage in my life/disability but I always marvel at the sheer size of those big buffalo.
Nice choice in rifle too

Too freaking cool! Coastal blacktail/whitetail/bear has always been a dream of mine. One day!!!
thanx fellas. It was a fun trip and it was nice to see the deer were moving right on schedule.
I usually plan for the 3rd to the 10th of October and seem to reliably hit the migration of those deer out of the upper valley before the snows come.
Hunted this morning down towards Pressy Lake but nothing moving in my spot there. Just got back from another spot just up the road a few minutes but nothing moving up there either.
Still have a mulie or white tail tag to fill so I'm gonna be hunting hard. Gotta interupt the hunt for a week of fishing though and I hit the road for that trip tomorrow maybe

That first one sure is one heckuva fine speimen of a blacktail!
I started talking to 45ACPKING on this site about moose hunting about 7 or 8 years ago and we realized we had been hunting more or less the same part of Region 6. As the conversation continued, we discovered that we also had simultaneously hunted a part of Region 2 as well. I started going there shortly after I moved to Vancouver from the island in 1985, so that is 38 years. He has been hunting there for 22 years and we never met up.
I had had limited success in the area, though I did get a nice three-point early on, my very first mainland deer, then a few years later a decent 4x4, but sucess had been spotty. It turned out we had been camping in the very same spot, hunting up the same side road, only at different times so in 2018 we agreed to meet up. 45ACPKING and his buddy were there and we discovered that I was good friends with his buddy's brother. Small world. 45 drew me a hobbit map on a piece of blue shop paper and then they went off to their spot the next day and I followed the map (which I kept) and I'll be damned if after a couple of hours sitting, a very nice little 3-point showed for me to take home.
I've been back several times but I wanted to share again a photo from 2021. My success rate has improved considerably with 45ACPKING's generosity.
His last big 3-point is really admireable, but this one from 2021 had some heft to him too. Hunting alone, I had to cut him up on the spot and pack the meat out in three trips. I don't have the figures on hand for what I figured the total live weight of the buck might have been, but I know for certain that the two hind quarters and lower back portion that I packed out in one piece weighed 64 1/2 pounds.

Ya MD that one you got last year was exceptional as well.
For body size there have been five bucks from there that tipped the scales beyond expectation , yours being one of them.
My first big bodied one , with a respectable rack was in 09 and I have the euro mount of the skull on my wall.
Then this one taken a week later
another following year this bad boy came through with a buddy in tow and I put them both in the truck
and then this one was very memorable too, which I passed up first shot that morning in the stand with tony , so he shot it but let me pose for a pic because I spotted it coming in on my side of the stand and told him to take it hehehe
