Just to keep things in perspective a bit, blacktails only live in that portion of the state which resembles the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. That isn't most of the state or even close. The majority of Alaskans - and Alaskan hunters- have probably never seen a wild blacktail in the state. There are none within hundreds of miles of where I live. Never killed one; never seen one either.


Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
