Got Dinks?

[Kevin Root]

Ha QQ, the coastal deer, black-tail or black-tail hybrids depending on the recognized boundary line are nice looking forked horns or three points in my area so I have to agree with you a bit. Where the dink comes in my mind is their body size. They are a whole lot less on the hoof than their mule deer cousins east from us. The benefit is less effort to pack them out . Some of them also have some nice beach front views too.

Kevin, you need to move all of the pics of that big forked horn to some big buck thread since I have shot alot smaller blacktails that I thought were pretty good bucks!

That chocolate-horned buck is a pretty deer.

This one would be a dink by body size, but still pushing 38-40" on outside spread with that G4 kicking straight out. Huge bodied deer not long removed from one heckuva Winter. He was trying to follow 3 other bucks I spooked and those younguns kept running, this one lasted about 100ydsin a half circle then looked gassed and started walking.

That's a heck of a fork Kevin. Beautiful in its own regard.

Some really good pictures of young bucks on here. Here is one I was able to get really close to with my RX100.

Nice pics everyone! I have to admit, I've tagged out on quite a few dinks.

Give me the GPS coords to those dinks and I'll take em out for you! That chocolate colored forkhorn is a beauty! I don't know anything about blacktails but he looks very mature to me. How old do you think he is?

A buck dink...



and a stone dink!

That muley is a looooonnngggg way from being a dink. Those tines have got to be 17" or better. Great pics AKaviator!

This little Tomichi Creek dink was a wee bit young for the first week of Nov.

IKIC-

Your pictures remind me of one my friends wife took of a buck in their barn bedded down on the Canola Meal Pellets
