Yeah, I was thinking of your location/style of hunting ie. backpack hunting. Lugging a scale in your pack is pretty unlikely.
Art, thanks for the information on weight. Are blacktails better eating than whitetail? Somewhere in my brain there’s a notion that it’s been said that they are better eating. They are outstanding eating... they blow the best whitetails out of the water. Amping up here for next years trip. This is real incentive!!!! Ya working out? It’s not a 200 yd drag to the truck!!

Nice buck Joel! Was a little damp rut hunting this year huh?
With a moose and a bison in the freezer I just carried around my recurve and watched deer that I couldn't get a shot at!

Venison is not my favorite meat but there’s nothing like a fat Sitka BT for eating. I’ve shot lots of whitetail, mule deer and Colombian Blacktail like we have here but even they don’t compare to the Southeast AK Sitka BT. I’ve not had one from Kodiak.
