Big eights are what God intended. ^^^ I have always said this as well. But I prefer to hunt his exceptions.

I'm a sucker for big 8 points so that would most likely be my choice.

Wish I would have had the 10 mounted. Didn't have the money back then.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

With 18.75 inches per point, the 8 will be a much more impressive specimen.
