Seen once towards the end of last season.

3 1/2. 180-90 dressed 115-120 range. Would be very happy to see him make it thru and stay an 8 this year. Little width, mass and 10-15 inches and you got yourself a real special one. I was lucky enough to get a great 8 last fall for comparison 12 and 13 inch tines gave him what he needed for a hair over 128in. Good luck on holding him there.  Do what ya can.

I would say he's likely a four year old. Would score in the mid 120's and dress out around 185 lbs.

A beautiful buck by all accounts! Hope you het a crack at him this fall! That would be epic!

Sure.  Same ones in the bow harvest thread. You can see both my 8’s from this year in my post from How was your season thread.

3.5 years old. 125ish score weight 165-180. Great buck!

Like all your estimates. Never got him on cam in 2023, but seen him once. Never found any of his sheds.

I hope your right. I like to get another with my bow. It been a while.

I think he looks older than 3.5 but I am no expert.  I shot a 4.5 year-old buck in VT that was smaller than that.  That one looks like he would dress out at 185-195 lbs to me.

He's big. He's heavy. He's old enough. That's a nice rack. If you get a chance, you'd better take him.
