Reverance
Three years ago, I was speaking on west coast blacktail deer opportunities at the Willamette Sportsman Show, when it hit me, I want to live out the full blacktail experience! I wanted to harvest a mature buck, with my bow, in every state they range.
Blacktail are so diverse and experts at hiding, but through a series of impossible events, I was able to make a dream come true and harvest a buck in every state! I’m not sure this is a thing, but it’s the Nathan Endicott Archery Blacktail Deer Slam. This film Reverence represents my obsession and respect for blacktail while showcasing the final state, Washington, where I was able to take an old warrior buck at close range.
Also, I was blessed to get so much help from my wife, friends, and hunting buddies to pull this off and the rest was an unrelenting pursuit and the ability to overcome when the moment counts.
