Ocean Shore Blacktails

Postby Robbo » Fri Nov 23, 2012 6:50 pm

We spent Thanksgiving with family down at Duck Lake in Ocean Shores and as usual the blacktails didn't disappoint. The Duck Lake neighborhood is a sanctuary for the darn things. Right when we drove into the neighborhood I mentioned to the wife..."OK keep your eyes peeled for a big buck." Less than 5 seconds later she says "There's a big one!!!"

This really nice 3x3 was in a guys back yard along with 4 other small bucks and a half a dozen does. He was all rutted up!

While I was taking his picture this nice forky came over looking for a handout. I've got your handout right over here in the trunk of the car...just a little closer now ;)

As we kept driving we passed two more sets of small forkies fighting literally right on the shoulder. These two were sparring in an empty lot boxing

Nicole and I went for a quick drive this morning and ran into a bunch more, including this beauty laying in the back yard of a million dollar home. He was with 3 more bucks and a bunch of does. Life is good for this guy thumbup

If you're ever in Ocean Shores and want to take the kids to see a bunch of deer drive them thru the Duck Lake neighborhood. They hang out in there year round and unfortunately they don't wander far tommygun
