I don't think you could have made any better choice on anyone to do justice to such a great deer.

Just a beast of a buck and I'd take your 8 over any other deer I've seen on this or any other forum. Hell, I'd take a 160 8 over a 175 10 point any day of the week. lol

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

Great. I want to see him some day. Just no way I can grasp a deer scoring 180 and just 8 points. Really something special. Congrats again.

At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

Tremendous buck DStroud and gorgeous mount. I remember when you posted it. 150” is about where eights start to look pretty big to me. 30” inches more on an 8 is incredible. Incredible enough to be a state record! Congratulations on a true buck of a lifetime for any Texas hunter.

Great 8, 180 is unreal. Congrats on the buck, the mount, and the rattlin' horns to get him.

Ha I felt same way few weeks ago, talked my self out a long shot right at darking, not knowing if I could find him that night, only to shot him at a 1/4 of distance.

Congrats again!!! It gives us all hope that unicorns do exist!!! Flat stud
