Biggest 8 ptr. I've ever seen! What about you?

Pulled my cards from my cameras while I was out hunting this week and got a picture of a stud 8 ptr. Biggest I have ever seen. What about you? What do you think he scores? I think he is pushing 155-160"

I don't think he is that big. I shot this guy and he was 144.

I would guess 140

iayotehunter 10-06-2014 10:23 AM

I would put him around 145

huntinboy1122 10-06-2014 10:47 AM

Well hopefully when I kill him this year I can put a tape to him!

That is a nice deer. I have been capturing some large deer, too including this 8 pt stud with a 10 pt in the background. I don't know what he will score....anyone tell me what they think?

Biggest I've seen in real life was around 140". In the Legendary Whitetails books there are two that are in the 180s.

I shot this guy a few years ago - 140" 8 pointer - not sure how it compares?

Very close I'd say. I think yours is bigger actually. Both are nice deer

Just took this one October 3rd on public land. I'm not used to even seeing deer like this. I was kind of surprised when I took him to processor and a employee told me he'd go 160" and that was quite rare for an 8 pointer. Got back to hotel and put a tape to him. Came out to 160 0/8".

While that is a great buck Zim, it's nowhere near a 160" main frame 8. You made a calculation error somewhere.

Zim 10-07-2014 05:35 AM

fingerz,
Check my math. If I'm wrong Id like to fix the score I posted in the HN archery deer contest. Thanks.


Total 160 0/8

Right ----- Left

MB 25 4/8----- 25 6/8
G1 5 0/8----- 6 6/8
G2 13 0/8----- 12 4/8
G3 9 6/8----- 8 4/8

H1 5 0/8----- 4 7/8
H2 4 6/8----- 4 6/8
H3 4 5/8----- 4 5/8
H4 3 4/8----- 3 2/8

Inside spread 18 3/8

I don't know about the actual score of them but they all are some nice bucks that I wouldn't pass on that is for sure.

fingerz42 10-07-2014 07:14 AM

The pictures don't do him justice. I never would have put him at a 25" main beam, those G2 measurements or that right G3 measurement. If those measurements are accurate I suppose I'll eat crow.

No matter the score it's an awesome buck and I'd kill to harvest it.
