You'll like this little tid-bit, Keith, that world record Blacktail was shot in Lewis County in your back yard. smile


You mean Clark County.... I know where some bucks are that have some wicked genetics. They're located right on the EF of the Lewis River where I beleive that state record buck was killed. I can still remember the day after football practice when I was driving home (age 17) and this monster either 5x5 or 5x6 crossed the road, he was one of the biggest blacktails I've ever seen. I raced home ran inside grabbed my 30 carbine (only thing that wasn't in the safe) and raced back down to where he was at. He had jumped a fence and was walking slowly right next to a house all rutted out with his nose up in the air. He literally walked right through a small neighborhood and I followed him looking for a shot but was too chicken shiat to pull the trigger on those peoples property. Looking back, I wish I would have just squeezed one off... He was an easy 19-20.5" wide and at least that tall, his horns looked way out of proportion for his body....
