A Middle TN Brute !

[tellico4x4]

Fine buck, good luck with him

 

[preachermantom]

Get em!

 

[Gravey]

Agreed!!! Need help?

 

[redblood]

that's a stretch with short 3's and brows

135 gross is very conservative for that deer

 

[wobblegobble]

LOL You have said that before, you have been wrong before.

I see more 130's than most on here however, not being a smart arse but truth

 

[Ski]

Where do yall see 135"?

I see 22" beams, 3" brows, 8" G2's, 3" & 5" G3's. After velvet is gone a conservatively realistic mass measurement would be 4", 3.5", 3", and 2". Spread looks to be about 18".

Where am I off and by how much? I'm not arguing or being contrite or trying to diminish the buck at all. It's a superb 8pt. I'm just trying to figure out how yall are estimating such high numbers. I'm not seeing it.

I'm with you.

Great deer and very mature looking but I can't get more than mid 120's out of that deer.

Regardless of score he's a nice mature buck knot head, hope you connect.

 

[Ski]

Regardless of score he's a nice mature buck

Yes. He'd be top end in these parts. As big or bigger than any buck I've seen on the hoof in this area in the 10yrs I've lived & hunted here.

Not taking anything away from it either. It's a great buck. But the vast majority of people over estimate 8s especially. A high 30s or low 140s 8 is a giant with a lot of bone on their head.

How do know what others see?

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

I may have over estimated the buck, time will tell. I have killed six 8 pters over 130" and one 8 pter that was 143 5/8". That is measuring not guessing. I have seen a few myself.

WE see many 130's each year on most farms...for an 8pt to get 135 it must have long beams and 3's if not long brows...Lets see em!!! On the trophy wall

I have posted them all on here. I didn't say it to brag, i said to prove a point that i know what they are.

 

[wobblegobble]

I haven't been on here in a while...just like looking at good deer

Glad to see you are back on wobblegobble.

 

[Spurhunter]

Great buck no matter what he scores!

 

[mossyoakmantn]

He's a beast! Good luck!

 

[ROVERBOY]

As an 8 pt, I think he will be in the 135" range! Awesome buck!

I'd say your right on score. I read somewhere there's not a lot of 8 points that have made B&C. Usually always takes a 10 point or better.
