sharpstick......i agree that the pattern doesresemble a whitetail and even here in CA i have seen some deer killed that had antlers with what would appear to be whitetail based on the curving main beam and not having the typical forking like blacktails and mulies have......however, if you look at the eye guard being very small which is typical of blacktails not whitetails and then also how the forking of the main beam and the G's...not straight up and down like a typical whitetail but they are bent forward showing that the antler as when it was younger was a forked animal more like a blacktail not a whitetail....based on where the antler was found (as stated above in OR) and this i would have to say more then likely blacktail.....however, it could be a freak of nature and have some crossing of whitetail not to say you are wrong, but % wise it would have to lean to blacktail..
