Slider he is a nice buck but he is still not a Blacktail.
Mule Deer ears and butt and tail, nice buck though.

He is a Cascade Blacktail?

I believe the worlds record Columbia Blacktail and it came from Lewis County, Washington and was killed in 1953 and scored 182 2/8. I did not know there was a classification as Cascade blacktails. Thought they were referred to by Boone and Crockett as Columbia Blacktails. All I can say that is one super Columbia blacktail. Those kind of animals are few and far between and he should be congratulated.
