For the purposes of record books, how does a judge officially say a particular deer is a true blacktail and not a mixture of the blacktail and larger rocky mountain subspecies? Since moving to WA, I have seen several bucks that were clearly mixes. Some have had large racks, but with a full black strip down the tail. It seems to me that a "mixed" buck could have the big rack genes but still have a blacktail.
