Ok, I know very little about blacktails so I ask this: Is the deer Bullet Hole shot the same as what's in Alaska? B/c if it is the same, he shot a GIANT compared to what I saw from Alaska. Sitka and Columbia blacktails are not the same right?? I know Alaska has the sitka, but it says their range is from Alaska to the west coast??

Its equivalency is different based on which scoring books you use. Boone and Crockett considers it equal to a very high 160's inch whitetail while P&Y considers it into the 180's.....either way a pig of a deer.
A monster that will be hard to top but a good goal to set out for each year.

You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'
The blacktail he killed is huge. I think it's a Columbian Blacktail

Looks like according to the NW Big Game records there are actually 3 different "subspecies"? of Blacktail deer found in Oregon alone.
Cascade, Columbian, Northwest.
There are places in CA where blacktail and mulie inter-breed. The dnr sets different zones and the deerare recorded in the books according to its location and subsequent classification as mulie or blacktail. At least that's how it worked when I lived in Eureka, CA six years ago.
Im confused!!!
