Dominant Buck

There is some disagreement on score on this 8 point. I think he is at least 5, maybe 6, but will go in the 140's. Some people think only 125-135 in my group. What do y'all think?


He is definitely the top dog though.

138

I would say closer to 130 but def a shooter buck, age-wise, IMO

5-6 and around 130.

Doesn't make 140 but definately a shooter. Long mains but not much mass.

I have shot one pretty close to that and he scored 131.

I am with the 130 calss

I think <130

I'd go with 135, lota beams on that dude! Good brows too.

He should break 140 with those beams and brows. If not 140 he will be close

Great buck. I think 130ish and a shooter no doubt.

Those beams are looong but it takes a lot for an 8 to go 140". He is 125-130 maybe

He will be over 140 with a low to mid 140's score. He has 26" beam more or less and all his tines have good length. 6+yr old looking deer. I have several 8's mounted that are upper 130 to low 140's and he is as good or better than those deer. The last time he saw the 120's was in early July this year.

135ish, good looking mature buck

Bottle of TX whiskey from firestone and robertson bet?

I've got several 125-135" 8's at my house, and held and measured several: 140-154 8pts

If he doesn't break 140 it won't be by more then three inches

Surprised at the range of scores. There is a cheat sheet in those picture to shortcut the guesses. It will give you spread and tine lengths pretty close.

Won't make 40

I was using that too

Shut your trap, I'm trying to win free whiskey!!!!!

Yal talkin about the panel/wire?

just my opinion but he isn't carrying enough mass to make 140. Certainly a good looking buck though..

I may be way off but here is what I'm coming up with:
48" main beams
11" brows
20" G2's
20" G3's
26" mass
18" inside = 143"

Good luck and let us know when you ground check him!

I don't think he makes 40 at all and barely gonna make 130. Not an expert just my opinion.

I didn't put a pen to paper but I think your short on beams and brows and long on 2's.

It doesn't matter...he's a shooter and an absolutely beautiful buck. Ocho's that are 130 inches and more are beautiful deer. For what its worth I have him shy of 140 and only because of the lack of mass. Better get him quick because he likes confrontation and is liable to get busted up quickly when he meets another buck with the same temperament.

He'll crush 130". We had a lot of pics of an 8 last year that ended up at 127" and this one is noticeably better in all areas except mass. MB's and all tines are much better on this one.

He is awesome! He's the kind of buck that I wouldn't even score, just hunt. Dominant, beautiful, mature buck.

Nice buck

Good looking deer. I got him at mid 30s. Good luck and let us know what he is when you have him in your hands.

Bobo, Im not much of a bettin man. I put the pen to paper and decided that he is a shooter!!! After looking at the paper, ai think he is better than I thought. I think he is mid 130s. I have him at 134" but I am no expert and I may be wrong. I hope I am wrong. I hope OP busts his arse too and proves me wrong.

With those beams, he will be mid 140s in my opinion. He is a STUD 8 point, and I would be darn proud of him.

I see him as a 138-143" buck. More so on the 40-43" side than the upper 30's. I wouldn't hesitate one bit to take the deer regardless.

48" main
10" brows
20" G2's
21" G3's
28" mass
20" inside

I got 147"

Upper 130's gross. Very nice 8!

I hope op smokes him

Looks high 130's to low 140's to me. Lack of mass will hurt him but he has a great frame. Ground check him and let us know.

This

Nice Bachelor group.

135

He's an awesome buck and I'd want him mounted just like the first pic

I can tell you precisely how big he is:

Big enough.

Shoot him for sure.

High 130's

That's the game plan.

Any luck here?

I have him at 133"...Definitely 5+ in age

He's a good deer no doubt but he's in the 120s.

Mid 130's , he's a shooter for sure.

He is easily upper 130's, probably closer to 142" is what i come up with. No way he is below 130". he has too good of tine length and main beams.

I have him at 136. Regardless, he is good looking deer!. Best of luck to the OP

Your bald head makes you feel sorry for "smaller" deer so you probably tend to add a little headgear.

We would have talked about it while it was in the back on my mule at my camp!

Nice buck! 130+

I have him at 143 5/8. Nice old mature 6.5+ buck
