Thats a great 8 point!

I would have to say around close to 130 with the long main beams and looks to be pretty wide with decent mass and hardly any deductions! Very nice buck though!!

Need some advice on my situation?The buck in those pics looks to be around 3 years old. I would say he is a shooter but he would be a great deer next year! We have a lil over 300 acres and we have an 8 point or better rule except on the youth hunt days and most of the guys around us do the same.I have been seeing him alot on our property almost every day!Given the chance would you take him or take a chance that another hunter wont get him and let him walk untill next year????Rememer down here you dont see bucks like this everywhere!There is 4 of us plus a guest or 2 every now and then and me and my brother are the only 2 that have killed a good buck almost every year.

If you do not see bucks like that down there then this may be your best opportunity. With that stated he will not get any bigger if he is in your freezer. What ever makes you happy.

The score. Very nice deer, however, he lacks the mass and width to score high. It takes a nice eight to score more than 130. If he had more mass and width then yes. He will fall about 123-126.

Good luck on your season.

Good luck to all

I try to hold out or at least used to try to hold out for 3.5 year old or better here, which has now become a joke. Just 4 or 5 years ago, with holding out, there was actually hope that a mature deer would be possible, and I killed my fair share of mature bucks and does around here in the past. Now I just dont see it, not here, not anymore. This area has been so badly over hunted the past 3-5 years or so that the deer herd is on its way to being decimated.

Really it depends on your area, the neighboring hunters, and on what you want out of your own hunting experience. For me now, my focus of late has been more about getting my kids and my wife on deer. Deer like the one in the pic you have comes out in front of me here knowing what I know about this area and how it is overhunted, I would be a fool not to shoot it.

I know what you mean! I dont know what county your in but here in giles there are so many guys from alabama buying and leasing land I see more and more hunters every year! We do have tons of deer though but the big ones are far and few between!With a bow I will take him mabe with a rifle but not sure....
