slughunter Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 this morning me and my grandpa went out hunting in our usual spot. we sat for about 2 hours. When we started to get out of the stand, 3 does and a half rack buck came out. It didnt take long to realize it was big 8 that I have been trying to get on our farm. Before I could get my gun up he saw us and ran for the nearest woods along with the 3 does. its pretty upsetting because I have been after him for over a month. Here he is when he was normal: -shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Re: Big 8 update, not good. He is a nice buck Shane. That is too bad, but maybe he will still be around next year and be even bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Illinois1958 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Re: Big 8 update, not good. I know what you mean. I rattled in a monster 8 a few years ago. He walked right under my stand. However, his left side was broken off about 4 inches from the base. I had to let him walk and i havent seen him again. Good luck next year!

Guest Finn Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Re: Big 8 update, not good. Yeah, that happened to me in 04. Had a nice half-rack 10 point in and passed him, the neighbor got him the next year and he scored 157 as a 10 point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hoythunterbn Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Re: Big 8 update, not good. I just killed me a lil eight point just about that size tuesday before thanksgiving. He had a 16 inch inside spread, 19 inch main beams, and just under 4 inch browtines. He was my first real buck.(last year got a spike). But that is a gorgeous deer and it sucks that he messed up his rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
