See doc, and you've been worried all season!!!
Congrats buddy.
Edit: Being happy for you made me forget you wanted score guesses, I think he's in the high 150's, but after chasing one buck that long then finally getting him, score don't really matter.

Lots of tine-age! Awesome

Great job Don't be surprised that the .243 dropped him in his tracks, that gun's taken millions of good white tails over the years.

Thanks Chuck! 8point...here's his measurements compliments of Lukedawg40. What was interesting about his rack is that he carried his mass all the way out past his G4's!

You sure that's the same deer on the trail cam and not his big brother?
Great buck and I agree, reverse shrinkage.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Great all around buck, awesome tine length, beam length and mass carried throughout the rack. Good spread to boot. We are all envious.
