OK OK, Here' s a Better PIC of MY 8 and the story...
 

Well, I' ve had a stand in this area for a few years but never shot anything out of it and never really hunted it.. Seen some Beauties in the past years in the area where the stand is located when i was glassing, but thats about it.. well three days ago i went in and decided to take my stand down cuz i was gonna put it in a different location. I was riding by the next night and saw two decent 8 pointers... well after my fiasco on opening day, i was fed up and ready to shoot something.. So, i decided to go put my stand back up in this spot and try to get a shot on video.. I put the stand up Sunday at NOON and went back at 3:30... At 6:30 a smaller 8 came in and a little while later THree other 8' s came by... One of the 8' s was this BIG DAD is shot... I HAD NO IDEA he was in the area.. never saw him before... Luckily one of the decent 8' s didn' t come in before him cuz i had planned on shooting one on camera.... Well he comes in and I can shoot cuz he' s facing me straight on... He then start sparring and showing the other 3 HE" S THE BOSS.. After about 6-7 mns, he finally turned enough to give me a good enough quartering towards shot... It entered his right side, took out his right lung, liver and so forth and came out and sliced the front of his hind quarter.... After i hit him, i called the girlfriend on the cell and told her i just shot a BIG 8... and i could see it standing in a apple orchard, I said, " I' ll call you right back, i can see it standing still" .. i then heard it give one last breath and disappear... It ened up he dropped right there... I had no idea he was that BIG until i Found him....

16" spread.. 9.5 inch Tine... 4.5 bases, 21" main beams....

WHat you think his scores?????

GREAT HUNT.....

Mathewsboy, sweet buck!:D

Given the few numbers you did, I would guess him at around 130" -133" . A very nice 8-pt.!

Congratulations.

Awesome Deer!! Keep it up!

RE: OK OK, Here' s a Better PIC of MY 8 and the story...
 

Congrats! With all my whitetail expertise... (0)... I' d estimate him right at 128&3/8. :D

RE: OK OK, Here' s a Better PIC of MY 8 and the story...
 

Very nice deer. I have scored many deer. Pics are always difficult to estimate. OK 16 + 42 for beams, 9 inches for bases another 8 inches for the other beam mass. And considering all the tines where 9 inche that would be 60. Thats considering all tines are 9 inches a piece
16
42
8
9
60
___
13 4
Now if not all tines are 9 inches decuct the difference

Way to go on a dandy buck!! Congrats!!;)

RE: OK OK, Here' s a Better PIC of MY 8 and the story...
 

Congrats man that is a nice buck:D What did he dress out at? Hard to tell from the picture but I' d guess 180 or so? Nice story and pic too[&:]

RE: OK OK, Here' s a Better PIC of MY 8 and the story...
 

That is is a great deer regardless of what it scores. Congrat' s to you.

But since you asked, I' m opposite the others, I highly doubt it to go more than 115....a friend of mine shot a hell of a 10 point last year with a 21 inch spread, heavy horns, same tine length as yours and it scored 134....it takes a hell of an 8 pt to make 120 and although your buck is fantastic and I' d shot him too....I don' t think he' s 120.

RE: OK OK, Here' s a Better PIC of MY 8 and the story...
 

nice deer!.......you said you shot it on sunday, hope you live in a state you can hunt on sunday? here in pa we can' t

RE: OK OK, Here' s a Better PIC of MY 8 and the story...
 

Sounded like a great hunt! You' ll probably hunt this stand again ....I bet!

Looks like 124 to 129. Nice buck!
