Ethan Givan Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Checked the cam today for the last time before season opens. We got several pics of 2 new bucks that are really nice. Nice wide 8 pointer. Never seen him before. :void(0)'> :void(0)'> This is a buck we had only 1 pic of a month ago and it was a bad angle, so this is the first good look. He has 7 points on his left and 5 on his right. I love the split brow and how his G-2 on his left side curls backwards. :void(0)'> :void(0)'> :void(0)'> Will the 8 pointer make P&Y?

Turkeygirl Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Great bucks! I'd put my tag on either of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthehuntinman Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Those are some nice bucks good luck with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewink Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 If I had to guess I would say the 8 scores around 126-128. It takes a big, big 8 to hit 135-140. Nice deer though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 He's 16 inches wide with about 7 inch g-2,3's. He won't make P&Y(probably 115-120) not to mention he's young. I've seen some of your other pics and you have 3 other bucks that are all mature and great racks as well. It all depends though on what your goals are. If that 8 would be your largest buck or maybe your biggest bowkill then I say go ahead and take him. It's not always about taking monster bucks. A lot of times (myself included) people get caught up in only monster deer and what others consider a monster. I say if your happy with him KILL HIM! I like judging like this. If you question him when he's in front of you he's probably a little smaller than you want. If when you see him you instantly think of shooting him then do it.

I was pretty sure he would fall short of P&Y but I thought I would see what others thought. I think he is right around the 120 inch mark. Im thinking 3.5 for his age. He will be a really nice buck in another year, if I have the will power to pass him. I would like to, considering there are larger bucks in the area.
