I also drew a late-season bowhunt here in California and took this good 3x3 blacktail out of Mendocino County (second photo). His rack measures 22 inches wide and scored 119. It was a 25 yard shot using a Mathews bow and Muzzy 125-grain broadhead.

The 4x4 blacktail I arrowed at 30 yards in a D Zone scored 139. I would have never gotten this buck if I hadn't worn moccasins. Bowhunting in summer is tough walking on leaves that crunch like cornflakes.

Your web page is great. I have really enjoyed it.
