Washington Blacktail - The Firearms Forum

Looks lonely in here so I thought I would share. This is my first deer from my first season hunting which was last year. I took this buck with my Marlin 30-30 using iron sites at approx. 45-50 yards.

I had to copy the url from Properties to be able to see it. I guess his host doesn't allow remote loading. Here's the pic:

That's a pretty buck, Mr. pp.

My first came with the help of my ole reliable Marlin .30-30 back in ancient times!

Thanks for the compliments folks. A lot of my friends told me my 30-30 was too small, outdated, too old, etc. Or that I needed a scope. You should have seen the looks on their faces!

I am going to take one with a bow this year. We will see if my luck holds.

Actually, a .30-30 is adequate for about 95% of the game taken here in the United States. I also got my first black bear with the same rifle. In fact, I didn't own anything larger until I was over fifty years old.

I never looked into a scope until about five years ago and I'm still not sure that I'm comfortable shooting with one. I still like the ole favorite, open iron sights.

Nice lookin' buck...What it weigh...Was it tasty???

30-30 works great out to 100 yards or so on deer sized game.

Good shot placement is always much better than more power.

WTG Mr PP
nice buck.
Whar bouts did you shoot em.?
I know all Washington Blacktail deer are found west of the Cascade mountians.

mr.pissypants · 09-28-2004, 03:23 PM

I should check back more often, sorry guys. It sure was a tasty fella and weighed around 270 after he was field dressed. He was more like a horse then a deer.

I shot him in the Granite Falls area.
