Nice pics! Don't want to sound like an idiot, but is that really good size of antlers on those? Never seen blacktails so I don't know.
well.....yes and no...the spike fork would be about 1...the smaller fork is about 2 and the larger fork (which i seen during archery season) looks small in the pic, but is a bigger deer...he would be 3 or older IMO. . in this specific area i hunt i have only seen racks like these or smaller 3x3....(in bowhunting forum i had a post entitled CA b zone something or another...if u search the forum u can see that 3x3)...in the scheme of things for these.."true blacktails"..they are not bad, won't make book though..i have seen bigger, but am yet to get a big boy on the cam's..the bigger deer usually are down in the buttom of the canyons and stay they until the rut...once the rut starts they will come out and be more in the open...down side is our season closes before the rut is in full swing.
