I had passed this deer a few weeks ago and had a customer interested in him and booked the hunt, we chased him for a couple days and finally dropped him while he was on a hot doe. I never post pics of my clients or there deer but this one just has that damn factor to him and impressed me to say the least. He tapped out 2xs at 172-4/8" with a tiny G4 thats 2" so as a slick at grossing over 170" impressed all of us. We all had this deer in the mid 60s but his body size was spectacular weighing over 260 lbs whole.

Great deer but please explain why you don't call him a 9? Any point over 7/8 is a legal point, correct?

awesome deer

He is a 9, legal and record book measurements are all diffrent. Yes he is a 9 but if you take it away hes a 170-4/8" 8 point is all i was tryjng to show.

Takes one heck of an 8 to score 170. Amazing deer.

Looking at it's head and facial features, that looks like a Midwest deer by origin. Awesome Buck!

Born here but yes has some northern in it. Or had anyways.

Super buck!! Almost looked like something from Kansas!!

Awesome buck! Odd looking hunter.

Holy brow tines Batman!

Wow that is one big 8, congrats to both you and the hunter!

wow

Great looking deer. Been some big 8 points killed this year with just a few extra or only 1 extra points

Yes sir, I was honestly hoping it would have been broke being a hook like it was by now but nope. Still a giant and his brows were 8.5 and 7.5.

Thanks for the explaination. I was curious because I see it here all the time. I understand what you were typing now, but I still don't understand why people just don't call it what it is, a 9pt. Is there something special about them being 8's? I realize it takes a big buck to be an 8 but it's still a big buck being a 9.

Great looking deer.

Rabbit.

Any eight-point that makes B&C is the deer of a lifetime! Congrats!

FYI, the last time I checked, there was exactly ONE 6-pt in the B&C record book. I'd like to see that rack!

Love a big 8...

Wow! Beautiful animal!

Great deer! His right brow looks a good 2- 2 1/2 in shorter....maybe it was just the pic angle? Still a stud! Just curious...

. May be the angle but I have trouble seeing 7.5 inches on that brow?

You guys are correct, ill post measurments all later but i just looked at the sheet and it was 6 and change, they both bow way out and ill go by the taxi and get a pic if the horns alone and post progress as they get done.

Awesome buck!!! Congrats to you and the hunter!!!

Great buck.



I call it an 8 because it gets scored as a typical buck and the 9th point is an abnormal point which is a deduction in score. But yes, it is truly a 9 point buck.
