I'm not really a Tiger fan but I work in Detroit enough to know not to wear my red STL hat in a stab and choke town.
But I do like a black hat!!

One of my friends claimed one of his 8 pointers he shot scores 140. It would fit inside yours with enough room to fit a 120 along side it. LOL That rack is huge.

An 8 (or 9 pt) scoring 140 is gonna be a wall hanger. With 8 pts you gotta have mass, beam width and some good tines to score that.
Good trophy. Congrats.

Always has to be a dickhead trying to brag in another guys thread.
As others have said getting 140" in 8 points is a darn nice mature buck.

Beautiful buck! Congratulations. Had to add that, in my opinion, a mature whitetail buck with a big, even, typical rack is about as majestic and attractive an animal as there is. That rack has it all, in spades.
