Driveway Buck

My son grabbed my camera this morning and snapped a few cool pics of a nice Northern California Blacktail.

My big Oak trees are raining acorns and the deer that live near my house have been chowing down.

Cool pics Kid!

And away he goes...

HH, If i saw that buck on the ranch that i grew up on and hunted into my 30's, i'd be grabbing a gun instead of a camera!

Beautiful pic's, Thanks!!

HH,
That's very cool! I've never hunted blacktail...YET.
That buck looks really good to me! Is he a good one?
Thanks for sharing your sweet pics.

He isn't what I'd call huge, but he is better than average for around here.

Pretty cool pics and a nice BT buck.

That is a good blacktail. That last pic of him jumping is awesome Harry.

As mentioned above, that is a smoker buck where i grew up and took probably close to 40 mature blacktails. Our Ranch and country to hunt though, just did not kick out a lot of deer any bigger than that guy.

I have hunted Blacktails though in a lot of different places and in my opinion, just to give a guy who hasn't hunted them before an idea, i'd say that this buck HH posted is about the muley equivalent,trophy wise, of a truly scored 170" type muley buck. A Nice one!! Love them Blackies!!

I would agree with that 170 comparison from my CA hunting days.
