Love it! Got my first blacktail last season, and I’m blown away at how good it tastes. No hint of gaminess at all, most times I can’t tell it’s not beef most times.

Congrats!

Blacktail season ended for me Friday morning! I spent opening weekend on East side of state helping my son harvest a nice 4 point Mule Deer and didn’t start hunting myself until last Monday. An hour into my hunt I spotted this buck but with season running into mid November this year decided to hold out. Well, when I saw him again and got a look at how big bodied and grey faced he was I couldn’t resist. Heavy horned little rack which is common for Blacktails this close to the ocean.

With deer hunt over it freed up time to get one more Chinook in the freezer to get us by until Spring Chinook season!
