A Nice Illinois 8 pt.

Well Monday i went scouting at one of our hunting spots in Illinois. I saw 5 bucks, 3 does and a fawn. One buck was a basket rack 8, 2 of them looked like twin 8 pts that would go about 110, one was huge right at dark so I could not get a pic but he would go about 140-150 and then got this Nice 8. What is everyones guess at a score? It is kinda hard to tell but his right side is identical to his left except the brow tine. He is a good buck though.

It's had to tell from the pic, but it doesn't look to me like his sides don't match. I think he has been injured in the past. The way I can tell this is his left brow time is almost coming off of his base and there is a really deep fork after his brow tine goes back into the main beam. When you look at mostly all "normal" deer their brow tines are very similar. One might be a little longer or have a crook at the end but at the base of the point they look very similar. Also it looks like his left beam goes almost straight up. I might be wrong but it looks to me like he has been injured on the right side of his body. Anybody agree with me?

I agree, his left side looks a little strange to me. Hes a shooter in my book.
