Took a photo of the photo
Well I took a picture of the picture to go ahead and get it posted. Nicest deer I've taken in 18 years of hunting. He is an 8 pt with a split brow tine and a kicker off the base below the other brow. Does that make him an 8 ,9, or 10pt. Between the tips at the end of the beam he measures 19 1/2". At the widest point he measures 22 1/2" on the inside and 24 1/2" on the outside. Beams are under 20" and his tallest tine only 10". I know nothing about scoring but that is what a buddy gave me for description whe he saw it. He was one of 5 bucks I saw in the field last Monday morning chasing does. I was watching several Bucks when he came into my peripheral at 130 yds. facing me. I squuezed one off at his chest. He turned to his left and made 4 or 5 little leaps before I squeezed again this time hitting him. He dropped. My blood pressure still hasn't. Almost missed this one.

Thanks! I didn't weigh him but it was all two men could do to get him in a front end loader. If I ever killed one that dressed 200+ this is the one. He was very thick and had a gut on him like a fresh fed puppy. a good 1 to 2 inches of fat covered him I found as I processed him.
