Score? and is he a shooter?

[Big H]

Any thoughts on score?

I'll guess 142. And yep, I'd shot him.

[Fish-n-Fool]

Pics are hard to score (I'm no expert either); this pic is close up making it appear a bit larger too - IMO.

I'll also say I am usually on the low side with my estimates which makes for a nice surprise when the "official" score comes in.

Anyway here goes:

Total Gross - 136

spread - 18
beams - 23 each = 46
G1 - 5 & 6 = 11
G2 - 8.5 each = 17
G3 - 8 each = 16
circum - 28

total 136 inches gross +/- a few inches

Very few deductions and a symetrical rack; beams do not come around all the way; not great mass (ok) and not great height.

Certainly a "shooter" for most who bow hunt and no doubt a P&Y buck. If you have him on a large tract of good private ground IMO he will add mass and height next year and could jump into the 150+ category.

Decision time!!!!!

Pushing 140". I wonder if he has the mass to get all the way there. But the tine length is awesome, and that is one special 8 for sure. I'd shoot him, but someone stole my stands :nono:

Good lookin buck. I'd say somewhere in the upper 130's would be a close estimate. Yeah, I'd shoot him.

It wasn't me, maybe you should ask 45? This is not my pic, my friend that lives pretty close to me got this picture in the same spot he killed a nice one last year.

[Spring fever]

Very nice 8...144class........:cool:

[CritterGitter]

Score, I dunno.

Is he a shooter? Heck yeah! None of the bowhunters I know would pass on that buck!

a lot of the bow hunters i know would pass that up, but i would considered shooting him late season, hes about as good as an eight point can get. Nice Buck

what do you consider push'n :confused: he be a 132 " nice 8 fo sure ..he needs more mass tuh make him a push'n 140"or more tine length .. still a very nice 8 ..;):coolgleamA:

[ohioarcher]

Yes i would shoot him, and i would say boarderline 140.....nice deer

[Buckmaster]

138, pretty thin on mass.

[Redhunter1012]

I have a 9 point that looks like his twin except my 9 has more mass. He grossed out at 142". So low to mid 130's?. If I thought he'd live till next year I'd let him walk. But, never pass up a deer on the first day that you'd gladly take on the last.

[Lucky]

I would rather take a borderline 140 class 8 than to eat my buck tag!!

[hunter333]

love this deer, hes definitely a shooter and probably score around 145ish

[rossdeerhunter]

i would also say low 130's the 10 point i shot last year was 21" wide and pretty heavey framed and it only socre 140 (pic by name)

[Catfisherbrad]

hell ya thats a shooter!

[deerwhisperer]

i am gonna say 19 1/2 inside spread i have seen some mature bucks with seven to eight inch ears, and although he is a shooter i would deffenately give him a chance to breed, and pass on those genes, we all have to think about "seed" for next year.

[everything hunter]

heck yea i agree with lucky. nothing tastes as bad as tag stew.

[V.P.]

I'd say fish-n-fool is very close on his measurements.

I would be inclined to guess a bit higher on all of them though except for circumferences.

144"

In my book with a bow I take him with a gun I hope he makes it to next year.

[ap0317ah]

id say 138 nice buck
and yes he's a shooter
good Luck

Is he a shooter? You mean the one on the right?:D

Unfortunately, up here, that guy would have already been on someone's wall.:whistle:

:16suspect1: are u crazy :coco:

by the way patriot i'm just kiddin but i really think that is a shooter to everyone i know that hunts

[Big H]

Well, my buddy shot him Friday night, and he said he was over 25" inside. I will have to get more info., but he said it is a slug of a buck! 11 1/2" G-2's, and the brows were 8" and 6 1/2". I guess the pictures didn't do him justice.
