How would this 8 pt score?
 

Checked my D40 yesterday and found this 8 pointer with a thick rack. Curious how he would score.

From what I can see of the rack, my calculations say 122-125", but judging by the pot gut, he looks like a mature deer and would be a shooter on my place.

He does look like a mature deer but Ithink its about 115

I would definitely have my sights aimed on that one....he is a shooter to me!

Id say 125 130

130-135, big bodied deer might make the rack look smaller.

Hard to tell from a side picture. But I'll guarantee that buck nets Pope & Young............easily.

Here is the same pic cropped at full size. I think this may be the same buck I saw a couple of times last year during ML season but never had a shot at. He always came out right at dark and had a very tall rack. On my way home the other day I saw two other nice bucks feeding together at 11:30 am. The one I got a good look at had 2 2-3" drop tines and had a very large body like this one. the other I never got a good look at but when he was running away from me his antlers were wider than the first buck. Never expected to see them at that time of day and it was also an area I had never scouted before. its private land but I usually drive thru that area to get to the area where I got this pic.
