150... Great buck

Great buck, and good looking plots in the background. Looks like they're working

^ This, good luck getting him

I've got him at 148 too.

I'll say 149..... beautiful 8 point!

That is one good lookin buck right there! Very photogenic!

Would love to know what county?

beast of a buck!

153

Jack County.... but we have no deer there

So here are my numbers on him, tell me where I might be off. I do have the advantage of seeing this deer in person though.

11" of Brow Tines
22" of G-2's
18" of G-3's
52" of Main Beams
21" Spread
26" of Mass
Makes him 150". If his G-2's go over 11" then he'll be 155". What measurement am I off on? I just think it would be cool to take a Pope & Young 8 point that pushes or goes over 150". I've got some cool video of this buck I need to figure out how to upload of him running through the trees and dodging limbs with his rack.

I would say you are high on MB's and low on mass but overall score is pretty close, but you know your deer better than me. Just haven't seen many 26" main beams out of jack

Shoot him and let us know. Stud 8 for sure

I agree ^^^^ and would think you are high on MB and low on mass also. Just a little high on BT and G3's but short on G2's. So your score is about right from what I see in those pics.
I had:
20" IS
48" MB
31" Mass
10" BT
24" G2
16-17" G3

We sometimes get the end score right on a buck but the numbers don't always match what the buck grew to get that score.

Main beams for me are always the hardest to judge. What I'm basing it off of is bucks I've killed in the past 4 years off this place. I killed one two years ago that had one side that was 25" and this deers frame is bigger and his beams curl around more. I killed a buck 3 years ago that had 22" beams and this buck blows him away. I've got some bucks on the wall that have some awesome tine length that only get to 11". I can't get this bucks g-2's larger than any buck I have on the wall. I do think he hits over 20" on his IS though. I think he gets to 21". And because his g-3's lean forward so much it throws me off too, but I think they make it to 9". I've got two massive bucks on the wall too though that were killed within 400 yards of this buck and he won't come close to them on mass. I have a hard time getting him over 30". Hopefully I'm surprised and he has 12" g-2's, 9" 3's, 26" beams and 31" of mass to go along with 5.5" brows and 21" IS. I'll hang a 157" 8 point on the wall

I am using his ear length to judge by. If he has really large ears then I might be low on his score. What do bucks field dress there? Also what was the distance from his base to the G2 on the sheds you have? I use that on sheds of bucks as reference when trying to judge beam lengths. Most bucks in a herd will have the same amount of space between the base and G2 in the same age class and typical point count. Some ranches I had 10" and some 12". This buck I can not tell how far the beam lays/bows back behind his ear, that really adds beam length. If it does not bow back then they are not as long as they appear sometimes.

I've got those sheds at my office. I'll check them in the morning and post his measurements. It was a large jump from his 3rd to his 4th year. My mature bucks will field dress 170-180.

152"

Ok I was wrong on what his score was at 3.5, either that or he dried down in 2 years. 133 1/8 at 3.5 yo.
L R
MB 21 1/8 20 5/8
G1 4 4/8 5 1/8
G2 10 0/8 11 0/8
G3 7 4/8 8 7/8

H1 4 4/8 4 2/8
H2 3 3/8 3 4/8
H3 3 2/8 3 4/8
H4 2 3/8 2 5/8

IS 17" (I think at the time I was using 18", which he probably was)

Base to G-2
8 2/8 8 3/8

Mid-forties is my guess.

In my experience you don't lose near as much as people think in the drying process. Mainly you lose a little spread; less than an inch.

Well I got to watch this buck for about 5 minutes this morning and he never offered me a shot with my bow. Maybe next weekend. His frame is incredible. It's fun watching him dodge trees, limbs and brush as he picks his way through cover. His main beams sweep back in behind his ears and then go back forward. If I only had an 80 yard pin!!!?!

North Texas stud of an 8 Ultra, good luck getting to groundcheck him...

He's a solid 140 class deer no doubt

Thats a stud of an 8. By far my favorite deer is a giant 8. I bet he will hit 145

Well looks like he gets a pass for this year. I took a young man hunting this weekend to kill his first deer and wouldn't you know it, this bucks prances around in front of us for 30 minutes. He stood in front of my bow stand for 10 minutes at 30 yards, but I wasn't in it!!! Oh well the young man had a blast and ended up killing two giant pigs. I'll post them in a bit.
