Shew thats I nice un! I'd have a little trouble gettin my bow back if I seen him coming from a ways off. Thats the type you want to have run in on yah real quick so you dont have time to think about him.......

Holy smoke, that seriously might be the highest scoring 8 pt typical of all time. He's got above-average brow tines that look puny because of the size of the rest of the rack. Very impressive.

Awesome deer!!!! But something doesnt look right with the brows compaired to the rest of the rack. Well we will have to see if N.A. Whitetail does an articile on it. I get alot of bogus pics sent to me from buddies who find them on the net. Hey I hope it is legit! Congrat to anyone who can get on one of that magnatude!!!!!!!

That deer looks like it would go 350+ pounds to me.

Something doesn't look right, but if that deer is real, it's a freaking HAWG. [Eek!]

It's a nice deer but not HUGE as the photo makes you think.
1) Look at the hunters left arm... straight and the bed of the vechicle or table the deer is on .... he is a good distance from behind the deer and lower.
2) while a nice 8 point with nice width and mass to the main beam the points themselfs are not that thick.
3) there are 9 points with a possible kicker on the left side for a possible 6 x 4

I'd take him thought [Big Grin]

Just found this link to a truly massive whitetail in teh hunting reports thread. "Big Deer"

The buck is clearly well foward of the hunter and that usually makes antlers "look" bigger than they are but you can't miss the massive beam in his hand. That looks pretty legit from here.
