What's this 8 point score??

This buck has been coming to my place the past three years. Each year he shows up right around the first of December. I know he is at least 5 years old from looking at last year and the year before pictures. He actually looked bigger bodied last year and did not put on a whole lot from last year to this year except for a bit of tine length and some mass. His right brow tine was actually about 2.5 - 3" longer last year.

What do you all think he scores? He is a slick 8 except for a small kicker on his left brow tine.

Got some tine length my guess would be 133ish

I don't know, but he's awesome.

130 top end, pretty buck

Got good beams and brows and tines. Added up I get to 134 and change. Just looking at him, my off the cuff guess is 130.

Stud of a buck and looks plenty mature.

Beam length might surprise me, but I think mid 30's. Great looking 8

One way to find out for sure.

Nice one

138-139"

136" nice mature buck

Around 135 more or less. Nice mature 8 pt buck.

Mid to upper 130s, good mass and good tine length. Mainbeam length and spread will short him a bit scorewise.

Who cares stud eight!!!!

Boom!! upper 30's

Low 130s.

Right at 130 , good luck!

I'd and find out!

Agree, Low 130s

Low 140's

Very nice buck! 124-129. I don't think he will break 130

Depending on what part of the state your in he might only be 3.5

If he is a hill country buck then could be older.

I was lucky enough to get one that could be his twin this year. He grossed 129 5/8 Great deer!

My thoughts too

Thanks fellas for all the scores.
I kind of pulled a fast one on you guys because I laid the wood to this old boy Monday evening.
I didn't do it to be a Smarta$$ but just to see if most of you would underscore him just like we did. Like most of you here, I also was a bit fooled by this buck and though he'd be in the mid 30s.

He scores 145 6/8 and is my 2nd best buck to date.
He is one hell of a buck for our area without a doubt and I'm very thankful and proud to have taken him.

I will post the pictures, story, and measurements on a new thread called HOUSE BUCK #2

Lol that's a once in a lifetime 8pt

Stud!!

U got me by a little bit, I was one of the higher scores, mid-upper 130s. I could see his tine length and mass, I probably shorted him a tad on mainbeam length and spread. Great buck for sure!

Dang! Hell of a buck, you need to get that other post up already...

No problem doing that. It's nice to know sometimes what a guess a buck will score and what it really scores. But I did miss it a lot. I said low 130's, That's a long way off of 145 6/8 and I pride myself on getting fairly close. At least if I had shot him, he would not have had any "ground shrinkage," which is a problem for most of us hunters.lol

You out of tags yet?

Yes sir, he's a great deer indeed especially for my place.
I've got another one on the wall from south texas that is right at 148 but he does have a G4 that is 1 1/8" long or he'd have been a slick 8 nearly 147". Both I guess are really 9 points..........BUT I'LL TAKE EM! LOL

DQK, I also missed him by 4" on beams as I had given him 42". I missed the mass by a little two as I didn't think he was much heavier than the first buck I'd shot.
I think what also threw me off was that he dressed 135 on the money run down. He didn't have a lick of fat in him so I suspect he would have been a solid 150 lb dressed deer a month or so ago which is damn big for our area for sure.

Amen to that Mr. T.

If I'm off on a typical deer it is usually this direction and not the other. I learned that paid hunters like it better when you tell them a buck is 152 and he goes 158 much better than 149 7/8"

LMAO

LMAO

MLDs bro............................................

1 buck tag left and I suspect that is enough for me at my place for the next 4-5 years at least.
I actually feel really bad having harvested two very nice bucks off my small place in one year even though we had not taken a deer off of it the 5 years we've owned it before. Hell, I even called my neighbor to apologize to him just after shooting him and he laughed and told me congratulations and that he was happy for me as it was a mature deer and he didn't have a single picture of him anyway.
