Not true on Blacktail unless determined by dna……for B&COakstone Outfitters in Bradley, CA (Central Coast) can get it done for you. Would be considered a true blacktail since it is West of the I-5. I believe they offer weekend hunts (Friday to Sunday) and weekday hunts (Tuesday to Thursday). Additional days can be added if need be. You’d use an A zone tag unless you purchased a PLM tag which would have a different set of hunt dates later in the season I believe. They offer butcher and processing services as well as taxidermy.
Where’s the blacktail hunting? They don’t show any on their website.,.I second Cary Jellison at G&J Outfitters. Especially if you want a trophy Blacktail. He knows his stuff and won’t BS you.
