Great 8

*Not my pictures!*

An old college friend from a neighboring state sent me these. He has a shed from last year that is likely from him- scored 65". This buck is a STUD.

crazy to think that was a 150" last year... this is a goofy year for growth but i just dont see it

Be patient.... His mass is deceiving as are his main beams. I think he could easily hit 150 when all done. Here is the shed from last year against a 52" shed.

Heck of an 8 point. Hope your buddy sends a pic when he's done growing.

[sampotter]

He is still growing. I wish I had one like this on my cameras!

Bruiser of a buck. Any idea how old he is, 3 or 4?

[sampotter]

Based on the shed he found last year I'm thinking he's at least 5.

That's an impressive buck.

*UPDATE*

 

My buddy got him at 11:45 today! Over 20" inside! The shed he has from last year was 65".

Solid...

I lent him my copy of Hill Country Bucks a few weeks ago. I don't know if that played into the kill at all but I hope he sends it back!

Very nice!

very impressive buck and story, congrats to your friend on his harvest !       

[Geno C]

wow beautiful buck! great followup post and congrats to your buddy!

[sampotter]

I'll be sure to post details as I get them. I know he has been consumed by this one buck since he picked up his shed this spring.
