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.

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.

Those beams are looong but it takes a lot for an 8 to go 140". He is 125-130 maybe 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 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.
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

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.

Upper 130's gross. Very nice 8!

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.

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.  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. This

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.
