This is one TOUGH deer, I've had lots of inquires about him and to be quite honest have ignored them on purpose.

But I wanted to share now, since the hunting season is over in my neck of the woods and he has moved South for the winter (no I don't know where that is) but wish I did.

So he DID return in 2007 from his Archery wound in 2006, I got some pretty good film of him again (although not as good as the previous 2 years).

He is definitely smarter and not as friendly to me as he use to be. (can't imagine why)

His cheater on his right side has forked a bit and he was/is starting to shed or loose some of the black junk/blood.

Here is a couple of pics pulled from video.

ENJOY!!

BTW - He was hunted VERY hard and HEAVY almost the entire bow hunt by a couple of different people and last I heard was STILL ALIVE after the hunt was over.

Come on BLACK MAGIC, lets make it to 2008.

Sorry for not sharing early, but I had good reason not to and will likely do the same in the future on big bucks I find.

Also here is a short (shaky) video of him from 2007 also...

No need to be sorry Brett! Man, I am really, really glad to hear that Black Magic made it through the last year!

Quite frankly, I don't think any of us would blame ya for keepin' him and his whereabouts a secret.

see no pics???

Brett i cant believe you. you lied to me when i asked if he was still kickin! jk. id probaly keep his status secret to. Glad that big boy made it

Brett that is an awesome deer i give you big props on being able to find him year in and year out.

and BTW Brett do you have any estimate on who old he is?

I'd guess he is 6-7 years old.

Yup, that's the infamous BLACK MAGIC! Man, he is impressive .

He's kinda won a sentimental spot in my heart. Unless you get lucky
and draw a tag for that area Brett, I hope he plays the string out.

Of course, I'd be tickled pink to hear that you managed to "bring him home"!

My chances of getting him are pretty poor unless I get REAL lucky in the draw next year and he returns. But it usually takes makes points to draw this area and lets just say I'm less than half of max points.

Every year the odds get worse and he gets hunted more and more. But you never know, can't quit dreaming anyway.

Never seen him during the Rifle hunt, but my little brother may draw and Rifle tag for the area next year?

Think I might have shared this before, but here is his Nephew also from this year. The first time I saw Black Magic this year he was with a BUNCH of bucks, the hit the trees and I went in after them.

Never saw BM again, but did turn up this NEPHEW...once removed.
