He's certainly not the biggest buck I've taken but he is certainly the biggest 8-point I've ever tagged. Inside spread 22 1/2", outside spread 24". Gross score 153 2/8", net score 147 4/8".

Thank you. I have shot bigger bucks but they all have had more points to achieve their score. This could be a once in a lifetime 8 point even for our area.
