Today I don't think any magazine would publish a picture of a deer that 1 man can hold with 1 hand.
Largest Black Tail ever killed "in these parts"... Just exactly what "parts" is "these parts"? At that size I'd be more inclined to believe it is a Mulie; but what do I know.
Think they used scent control?
I'm guessing the huge blacktail shown was bagged in the coastal mountains of Oregon. And yes, some blacktail do get very big. I have read that the blacktail deer is related to the muleys. My biggest is a 205 lb.(undressed) 4x4 taken at Hood Canal,Wa in 1969.
That's a beast!

These are great shot of long ago, they remind me of photo's of my Grandfather and cousins Grandpa going hunting on horseback brining in from Blacktail Deer, Mountain Lion and Wild Boar from the Santa Barbara mountains, what a gift we have to enjoy. By chance, would I be able to submit old photo's?
Thank you for a great magazine that has brought pleasurable reading.
Peace
How did they shoot these big monsters without magnums loads, camo, scent control, gore tex?
Wool still is the best out door garb.
Guess they were hunters. Great pictures, black and white classic photos are so reminiscient of my youth. This is an American heritage of which I am proud to belong. I can not say that about the current state of team sports I played as a youngster, then later as an adult.
They always did it better back in the day.
Yeah those are definatly scent-loc pants and the vest is Cabelas guide series, the shirt looks like mossy oak wetlands camo and the hat is a Indiana Jones knock off. Probably used a Jarrett custom in something like .338RUM. Just jokin- thats a really nice picture of a huge blacktail taken in a era when hunters were hunters and hunting was how you fed your family, not about fat wallets,inches of bone and commercialization.
How did he get the deer out the creek.
Amazing Pictures! Its neat seeing the "roots" of what made hunting what it is today.
Huge deer. Sweet.
I think its interesting to note these guys took some amazing animals with no modern high-tech gear. It says something if they can get animals without even camo. Perhaps we should reconsider the importance of the hunter as compared to the importance of his gear.
