I think some of y'all are underestimating time length especially on the G2s. That feeder just the box that holds the corns is at least 2 ft tall and those times are at least half the height of the box. I think the G2s are 12-14 inches Wouldn't surprise me if he comes in closer to 150". When I opened the thread, my initial guess was 148" but when I added him up it came up short of it.

Mid 140's or better depending on spread and how much more he grew. He is a 7 yr old on age from those pic angles. Kill him ASAP. Great looking 8 point.

Sorry to hear about the experience with the cabin. I would like to volunteer to help you finish that roof. I'm always looking for stuff to do between the season and between my morning and evening hunts. Let me know what to bring.

I can't wait to see him on the ground Marc. Hopefully I'll be there and we can measure him. Oh and don't forget to send that pic to Alamo Feeders so they can use it for advertising haha Thats what I thought too.

That feeder just the box that holds the corns is at least 2 ft tall and those times are at least half the height of the box. I think the G2s are 12-14 inches I agree with this. My 135" 8 had 11" G2's and this one has got me beat on his 2's and 3's.

If he stays on that same feeding pattern you should be able to see him in person real soon. You had tons of pics of him. I just kept the good ones. Good luck my friend.

Thanks for all the comments and good lucks on this great 8!
He will be at the top of my list. For those that might be curious, this buck grew up on the Pitchfork Ranch. 165,000 acres of low fence native wildlife.
This buck was fed mother nature with some corn and deer block whenever he wanted it. Just goes to show what good rains and age will produce.

With age prob being the most important of those two factors.
