So a previous post got me thinking about big 8s. What kind of pictures do yall have of good 8 pointers? Here's one I saw from last year.

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.

I have always loved big eights. Photo #1 looks like he may go 138"+ a little. G2s and G3s are excellent.

Saw this nice 8 just before season opened, and never saw him again. Did not hear anything about the neighbors taking him either, so he must have been wily and wise.

Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

This big boy hit the ground like a sack of potatoes 2 years ago. Horrible lighting in this room, but that's him on the far left, below.

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.

Trozacky for the win? Good grief!!
I saw several 150-170" 8s that were taken on a ranch north of Pampa while I was up there this week. They put that pencil-racked pipsqueak I posted last week to shame.

Clean 8s only, CP. You are disqualified. [insert sarcasm, eye roll, and jaw drop here]

This guy showed up before last season started. Never saw him again, but I'm the only one who hunts this property, so maybe he comes around this season.

This 8 happens to be a little trashy.
