Im just a gooden' from north Alabama so i can honestly say i dont think i have ever seen a Pope and Young quality deer on the hoof. That being said i checked my cam this weekend around Jackson Mississippi and I may be after my first one. What do you all think??? Does he make the cut?? Im pumped none the less.

excuse the picture quality... not to happy about that actually

I have two 8s from MO that just make the book. 1st was a near perfect 8, grossed 130.xx & netted 127.xx The 2nd wasn't as perfect but had alot of mass & grossed 131.xx & netted 125.xx I don't think that buck will net 125 but he should gross 130 I'd say with a fair amount of confidence. He has the tine length, not long beams but long enough & I'd estimate 18-18.5" inside. Always hard to tell mass in velvet, but he sure seems to have it for a deer that size! Honestly I don't think he's but a 3yr old, but if it's the biggest deer you've ever seen alive muchless killed then I'd tell you to "CUT HIM JACK!"

Now about that jacked up 3pt "thingie" with him in the 1st pic, he needs to be gone with yesterdays trash!!!

yep that looks like he could make it he's real close ,hope you get him ......

I agree with you Hatchie, I aged him at 3 1/2 too. But he is a public land deer and this is my last season hunting in Mississippi since Im a senior in college out here. So i know this is kinda selfish of me but im not to concerned with the management of that property too terribly much haha

he will gross around 130-135 but he is not an 8 point he is a typical framed 9 point and he most likly wont net p&y

I'd say he's P&Y yes.

Snap where are you seeing that he is a mainframe 9? I see 9 pts but it's not a mainframe nine (no G-4s), I see the sticker on his right G2 and the nub of a right G-4 but that's not 1" long so it wouldn't count as a point.

Maybe I'm missing something,
