What a beauty! That is a deer of a lifetime! Great mount. I think I missed the post when you originally shot him. Would you mind posting some other pics of him again?

Very nice deer. How did he score?

WOW what a great deer. This is giving me dreams and hallucinations about this coming seasonGreat deer.

that is an awesome deer. what is the length of his tine's? don't see long tines like that too often!

Dude What a buck. If you don't mind me asking what did the mount cost?

Nice looking deer, congrats!!!

Man, a booner is one thing, a booner with a bow is another, a booner that is an 8-point is rare (and awesome) and to have a mount that turned out that good and have the sheds with it ,WOW you must be on top of the world. congrats

Western MA Hunter, Thanks it is a deer of a lifetime. Here are some pics with the score sheet. The pic with him by tree is how i found him. My Friend who is the tax charged $460, but i think it was worth it.

Wow nice picks you added there and a score in the 170's. NICE!!!! What bow is that? Icon?

I've already said what a great buck that is,but, what a great buck! It is very rare for a buck of that size and age to only have 1 2/8" of deductions. Very symetrical. I shot one that only had 1 0/8" in deductions. For a buck like that, I wouldn't care how much it cost to have it mounted. To remember that hunt and see an animal like that is priceless.
