Would you tag out with this one?

Sorry - silly question -- tag out? I dont follow.

I will say - If I am hungry, my freezer is empty and I need it filled, well....

 

[west250]

Tag out: Use you last (or one and only) allocation for the year by taking one with this sized rack.

Have let bigger ones walk myself.

 

[BlackLabelBrad]

Sure would, but then I'm kind of new to deer hunting and have yet to take a buck. If I could shoot something like that this year I would count myself lucky.

 

[Eagleye]

That's a very nice blacktail.
I would shoot him in a heartbeat!!

I would follow him to the city outskirts first then lower his knees.

Depends on how much meat I already had hanging when I saw him.

How come someone always says what i'm thinking before i get a chance to say it?!?!?!? You do this all the time Mark! My post count suffers because of you. I hope you know that.

I think it's a trick question and you won the prize.

Don't got much hunting time this season, not really picky. Probably won't even see anything next weeks rifle hunt, can't go until Thursday evening (so Friday hunt).

I was looking at the backdrop, thinking yes, but not right there. WTH is that behind the buck?

I can speak with confidence that this buck will die of a ripe old age. It's on one of the Canadian Forces bases. I was just wondering who would hang up their hunting stuff for the year if it meant taking this one.
I have one buck tag left and pondered the idea of tagging out with a buck of this size - which would mean forgoing a 4 day hunting trip with my pal if I dropped one like it. Being more of a meat hunter, I would probably take it if I could make a great shot...

Every year this time the local media does stories on deer expiring in someones yard around the Victoria area with arrows/crossbow bolts badly placed.

I have been away for a while, but guessing this year won't be any different.

Nice Blacktail, BTW!

Yup, A Buck in the Truck is Worth Two in the Bush

A whole lot of fuss is made over trophy size. While it is great to hang a big rack on the wall most of us have time restraints, lack of access to good hunting, tight budgets and a whole lot more that gets in the way hunting. The time we have to hunt usually short. If you get the opportunity to take a legal animal regardless of whether it will have a high score take it if you'd like. Personally I prefer many meals to share than a rack on the wall. If you want to harvest a big trophy every few years thats great as well.

As for that buck: he is a great representation of a blacktail.

 

[Gatehouse]

It's a nice blacktail, but I wouldn't tag out on it unless it was last day and I needed the meat.

Have let bigger ones walk myself.

I am skeptical that you have let a bigger VI Blacktail walk!

Spoken from a true blacktail hunter! Hence the poll...
