The fact that the boone and crockett book does or does not do, is immaterial...U need to go down there and talk to the locals...maybe get off yer fat lazy butts and go and see what kind of deer are really there!!!!! I can assure U that U will find blacktail dear in the area!!!!! I have found blacktail in Kittitas county (high taneum and manashtash) well east of the pacific crest trail!!!them deer don't know they aint supposed to be there, they can't read!!!!!! It just flat amazes me that people come in here and call others liars and can stand with out a doubt that this deer is not a blacktail or it is a crossbreed from a picture of the friggin head!!!! if yer that good U need to be werkin for the game dept.......OK sorry rant over!!!!!!
