They never saw this on any of the trail cameras set up. Pardon the rotten pics. All I had was my cell phone.
Man, that's a heck of an 8 point! I love the big trashy 8s like that. My uncle just found a set of 8 point sheds (actually 15 points, but 8 typical, similar to this deer) that looked similar to that buck and I scored them at 174" with a 19" spread. The craziest thing is that the typical 8 point frame alone scored 159", and this buck may be close to that size. Great deer for sure! And I'm with Moose, should have bought the house!
