Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Eight is enough.

I like him. Nuttin wrong with that buck.

I agree. I've been close - shot several big bucks that would have been nice 8s, but with broken brow tines and G2s. I'd love to add a big, perfectly symmetrical 8 to the collection.

Some nice bucks fellas.

Ok, here’s some more 8’s I killed
This guy has a busted eye guard and short G2’s otherwise has mass and main beam length.
I love his upswept beam.

This guy took a 225 Accubond

Another 8 with a broken eye guard, shot him with a Remington 1100

My smallest 8, first deer I shot when Indiana allowed rifles, 225 Accubond

I shot this guy and his girlfriend with my 11/87

forgot about this guy, real small eye guards shot with my .223

And my first nicest bow kill

And my brothers wild 8 with extras

T , I suppose you saw Tinman's quote of my Freak buck from 2016 but

just in case, the story and pix are on P 5 here.

T, I really like the Field pix. I have a GOOD 8 and nice 10 mounted but I can't get the light right for a decent pic.
I haven't gone to the effort to take them outside and prop em up with decent background.

I have a racks from a few 8s and 10s that are at least as good as those mounted and 1 or 2 may be a bit better. Too much trouble to
get decent pix.

You've got a good set up for pix of mounts. Looks Great. I especially like the UPSWEPT rack as well.
Congrats on killin.

Guys gotta run, chores an all.......


Jerry

on my place they tend to run 8 points, rarely see anything with 10 points. Over the years I've taken some crab claw type 9s.
This one grossed 173. M70 Classic Fwt 243 with a 100 Hornady Interlock

Have what must be his Great Grandson at the taxidermists now, grossed 161

M77 MkII 257 Roberts with a 100 Hornady Interlock

JC Higgins (Husky HVA) 308 with a Sierra 165 Gameking sp

My God man! Those are some buster eight points. UN frickin real.

Tom; digging that first buck with the main beams that go on forever. Pretty. Cool.

Here's a BIGUN in about 5-6 yrs. TODAY this baby couldn't get thru my fence. Mama was waiting till I walked up.
I was 5' away --- ZOOM pic up. It layed down on its own and NEVER made a sound. I put him over the fence and walked away.
I did NOT handle it ANY more than I had to. I'd guess he/it weighed ?maybe? 5 lbs.

I walked straight back to my barn and looked back Mama was back to fence. Happy Ending.

Thanks Jerry. I shot him at 10 yards with a .30-06. It was the first deer I actually hunted for specifically and the fist deer I ever shot that ran when hit.

Outstanding buck!

Gotta love those babies. My little 18 acre holding is a bonified nursery. I have an old doe here that has used my spring hollow,(adjoining my yard 60 ft from the house), for fawning 4 years running. Ill have half a dozen fawns on the place in the spring every year. We like seeing them.

Below are a few of the better 8 points I have had roaming on my property in the last few years. I was lucky enough to tag the first one, but the other two I only ever saw on camera for a couple of years. Maybe once my kids are grown I will have a little more time to chase deer

Everyone should see the OLD buck that is resident in the TX State Natural Area near Boerne, TX.

The first time that I saw him was 2 years ago & he looked like he had caught his head in a briar-bush. = Talk about an "non-typical rack"!!! = I would GUESS 50+ points & I'm guessing about a foot beyond each ear-tip..

yours, tex

Nice bucks Blong!

I agree. I'd like to see that guy.

Otter,

I firmly believe that that big ole boy KNOWS that he's perfectly safe inside the Natural Area. = It hacks me off that each time that I've seen him "out & about", that I never seem to have my good camera.
(I bought the camera & my Darla promptly "adopted": it to take photos of her various interior decorating projects.)

Trust me, "Mister BIG" has missed NO meals either.

yours, tex

Nice! Makes me wonder why I drive all the way to Matfield Green.
