Well, we finally got it done today Nov 4th in Wyoming. It was hands down the hardest whitetail hunt I have ever done. It entailed seeing a great buck on a ridge line for a few seconds until he bailed over the other side. We hiked up to the top of the ridge and found the big 8pt sneaking through a large hawthorn patch. He hit a small opening at 250 yards and a loud grunt stopped him for a split second. The Weatherby 300 Win Mag barked and the big mountain buck lay where he stood.
He has a 20 2/8” inside spread and 25” main beams. For an 8pt he gross scores an outstanding 142 5/8”. Estimated he weighed around 190lbs.
