I was staying at Bill and Dave's house when I killed the above. Thinking I've skinned a few of their deer. Killed this one in 1984 (PS, it makes book). I'll wait for a 1984 Sitka pic.

The dozen I mentioned were just the ones that were big enough for the book. Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

I do think Dave, Bill and Calvino could add some helpful advice, as well as Sitka deer it appears... Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy.

BigFin Campfire Regular Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 798 Bozeman	Originally Posted by REDVANES Great, thanks guys. I am now debating what time I would want to go. It would be hard for me to leave the Kansas Rut in November. I may go earlier and hunt the Alpine. I've got my work cut out for me I guess... If you go in August to the alpine, you will not be able to stop dreaming about your next August Sitka Blacktail hunt. My friend and his 201st blacktail, most all with his Hawken. My next trip will be with a sharp stick and a string. My name is Randy Newberg and I approved this post. What is written is my opinion, and my opinion only. "Hunt when you can. You're gonna run out of health before you run out of money."

What a modest, easy going straight phucqking savage!!! Much respect and grats Randy... Yes, he is modest, easy going, and as much fun to hunt with as any guy I've had the pleasure to share a camp with. We are planning a return trip to the high alpine for next August and a Wyoming pronghorn hunt for late September 2017. I only hope I can be half the host that he is. Without him and his kindness of inviting me along to fulfill what has been a dream of my entire adult life, I would have never had such a great hunt with such great end results.

OP REDVANES Campfire Regular R Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 1,045	BigFin, That is the episode that started my infatuation for hunting POW blacktail. I remember when I was younger I watched a guy in an old Realtree Video go to Kodiak and stalked a blacktail. The deer acted like it had never seen a human in its life before. Back then I wondered why somebody would travel that far to shoot a buck with such a small rack but I know now. Originally Posted by BigFin Originally Posted by REDVANES Great, thanks guys.
