Very nice deer, has some potential for sure. Guessing around 130. Sure is tall. Anybody have a picture of an 8ptr that went a typical 170 or heard of one? I've seen pictures of some big 8's but to get B&C would sure be a amazing animal.

I would have to say 120 - 125. He's a great looking deer and there is nothing wrong with taking him if that's what YOU want. I've been using these cameras for about 7 years now and trust me, the deer are very photogenic. I had a buck on a camera 2 years ago that everyone thought would b 155-160. Well, he was harvested that year and guess what 143. The camera's do a great job but they can mislead a little.
Good luck, you should be happy if you see him during shooting light.

farmerjoe that deer has a heck of a tall rack for a young deer, he will be a real bruiser in another year or two.

Ive seen pix of B&C 8 pointers but they sure arent common. Ive even seen a 6 pointer that almost made it...it netted in the high 160's if I remember right....was in North American Whitetail magazine a few years ago.
hahaha listen to farmerjoe....hes gunna 'cull' a 130 class 8 pointer...gee wish I lived where we had those kind of 'cull bucks' lol
my guess is that deer will remain an 8 pointer and probly just add more mass, width, and sticker points with age
** I almost got him but I refuse to take a marginal shot **

ks: Bet this guy is close.http://www.american-hunter.com/monst...geraldbuck.htm
farmer: He may only go 130, but he sure as hell aint no cull buck. If he's not what you want, wait.

RE: Pictures of BIG 8 pointer (on hoof)
I am going to say that he is maybe around 115". Tops in the mid 120" range. I will tell you one thing, deer look ALOT bigger than they score. I know, I scored a buck that came off my hunting grounds about a week ago. This deer looks VERY VERY impressive. He had 3/4" of deductions. He is a perfectly tyical 8 point. I forget his exact spread but it was around 17". His G2's were a little over 8". He looked like a mid 120" class deer, I got the tape on him and he came out at 104 3/8". I will try to get pics on here after work tonight to show you guys what I am talking about. I have some pics of this rack.
