Ranch is in Frio county, we've leased it out for years and the hunters had ran all over the place with their jeeps and atv's. We thought it would take a couple years until the smart bucks would come around...after a couple months of rest, these boys showed up on camera! What do yall think? a double drop and big dark 8 (that 8 looks OLD!). This is 600 acres low fence no protein, good ol' south tx.

I think the 8 would go 155", not sure about the double drop..first one I've ever seen. What do yall think they'd score? I did find the double drops sheds this year while shredding.

do you have some more pics of each? looks like I see 3 drops on that 2nd one, no? that 8 is a beast but not sure I see 155 from that one pic...
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 was really generous and got 151 on the 8. I suspect <150 on the ground.

I don't think 150's on that 8, but I'm definitely no pro and that's not a great picture to score by.

I initially thought he had a third drop tine, too, but I think that what looks like the second drop on the right antler is actually a tree branch in the background. Regardless, those are two very good bucks.

No way that 8 makes 155. 130, IMO. Still a very nice deer.

That old 8 is going to be in the mid to upper 140's. He has a lot of mass. It is difficult to tell his main beam lengths but I think they are long enough with the mass to be a solid 40s buck. Just my 2 cents....

Awesome bucks. I would shoot the 8 as he is in his prime. I would let the drop tine get another year on him.
