This 8 happens to be a little trashy. My buddies dad shot this on a hunt in old mexico about 25 years ago. He was a guest. I believe it went 188". I was told at the time it was the largest 8 ever taken. Not 100% sure though. beautiful
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

Does it count if he was a nine that lost a point?

Have posted many times, but a buddy of mine shot this which was (maybe still is) the Texas record 8 at 183: And here's an enormous one on a public golf course in Austin my buddy works for...

Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Here a few of my favs. Some are main frame 8's with trash and others clean 8's. This 8 grossed mid 140's. This 8 really grew when he hit the ground. He was close 150 as a main frame 8 with some kickers getting him to 159. Really long beams and great mass for an 8 got him up there in score. This buck grossed around 164 as an 8 then add in 2" base point to 166". Not sure what these two bucks scored but this ranch sold that summer. Both were big frame 8 with a kicker or two This wide 8 grossed around 159 on his 8 frame with 13" or so of kickers you can't see getting him over 173". Next two bucks were on the ranch the summer it sold. Just big 8 frames. This buck grossed over 159 on his 8 frame with 24"+ of kickers for over 183" gross. A THF member killed this weak 9 point that grossed in mid to upper 170's on his 8 point frame. This buck grossed 159 on his 8 frame with 14" of kickers getting him to 173. I have to go thru a lot more pics but have quite a few more nice 8's.

This deer went 164. Never figured up what he was as a main frame 8.
