C'mon August - I am ready to see how this guy finishes out this season. What did he score last season? This is by far the widest and best 8 we had last year. I got curious and looked up the Big 8 LF Contests at Los Cazadores and Los Cuernos. I am going back and forth on whether or not he would have been a contender. Either way, he sure is pretty - a clean 8 and double throat patch to boot. He is showing a hint of a droptine coming off his right main (1/16" - maybe). If it doesn't get any bigger, what do you think he will score?

I concur with Bobo and would add that he is lacking a little point length too to really get him into the 150s..

That is what I keep seeing as well. I hope he is putting some serious girth on this summer; will know soon. I got him with 35" of overall circumference, combined tine length at 44" total, beams at 40 combined - might be shorting him, width at 22 = low 140s. I don't think he has alot of asymmetry - I'd take P&Y as a consolation prize. He was frequenting my setup and my best friend's setup about a quarter mile away fairly regularly. Saw him at least every fourth or fifth sit last year; with my luck I will probably never see him this year. We were both rooting for each other to drop him last year - if you read this, AgDog, I am trying to not be selfish but you better get your butt in the field this season. First come first served!That, and I smoked his 10 point running buddy last season anyway:

Great looking buck, good luck in a few months
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

What did the 10pt. score, nice buck. Thanks. A very rough 141 as a 9 - 146 if he had all 10 points. He broke his right G1 flush with the MB the night before the rifle opener and I didn't drop him until a few days after New Years. He was just shy of being 18" wide - inside. Finally got him to the taxidermist two weeks ago. Going through the drought of 2010-12 sucked, but the deer that made it through are impressive.

Love that double throat patch. He'll look good on the wall no matter what the score is.

It will be hard for that deer to get out of the 30s.

It will be hard for that deer to get out of the 30s. Mid to upper 130's. You're not gonna get 35" of mass out of that 8. He's a great deer and will make a great mount. Inches are over rated. At least that's what she said...

Beautiful buck. Shoot it. And that feeder in the first pic has seen better days.

very nice 8pt, I am very conservative when I score so I put him at 138. I like the spread he carries!

Great looking buck Andy. Wish you had a spot for me on the lease.... If we had room, I'd love to hunt with you again. Will keep you posted on the 2,000 ac south of us; still trying to get that locked down but looks like it'll be 2017-18 if it happens. Very nice buck...how old do you think he is? I can find pics of him as an identifiable 2.5-3.5 y/o in 2013; when he earned the name Long Beams. So based on that I am pretty sure he will be 6.5 this season, but possibly 5.5. It will be hard for that deer to get out of the 30s. Mid to upper 130's. You're not gonna get 35" of mass out of that 8. Probably not; I was hoping for some mass expansion this year and going between what I see in the pic and and hope to see when he rubs out this season. Going to be tough to give him another pass this year either way.

Prolly score 125-130. He's wide and has beam length but that's about it. If you like it, shoot it if you get the opportunity. That's all that matters

I'd say a bit more around 137 but who cares? If you want him, please try to kill him and forget the #s! That is what is going to ruin hunting for us all!
