How big is this 8 pointer???
Hey guys/gals
Just wondering for those that are good at judging the size of a whitetale can give me idea on the size of this 8pointer thats showing up in my backyard every couple of days (have yet to see him in person but it has went from him showing up at 4am gradually has gotten earlier and last night it was just after 6pm so I am hopeing for the best!)
Anyway, I don't think I have seen a living 8 pointer as wide and tall as this guy (antlers are out aprox 3-4" beyond the ears) in my area and just want to get idea on how big he actually is. Probably not going to help with the dreaded buck fever I get if I ever do see him w/bow in hand.
Thanks in advance...RyanB

Nice buck Ryan. I think 120 is pushing it. G1s really hurt, so much so that he might as well be a six. Not tall, wide, or thick but an overall good deer. The problem is its hard to judge his age from the pics. I'm guessing 3 1/2 but that is strictly a guess. Not a shooter for me, but if he is for you, good luck.

thanks for the replys everyone! I have others pics showing body size next to doe's and he is a big deer, my brother tagged a nice one last week and this deer is deffinatly bigger. Will see what happenes, he has lived thru the gun hunt in the area and its really only archery (1 week of black powder but I have yet to hear shooting around here durring that week) so I may just let him walk and keep an eye out for him next year. I live in 14 acres and my bush is a transition bush with a swamp on either side owned by a bunch of anti-hunter property owners so I think he will still be around next year.
See what happens...I just like the idea of a nice true 8-pointer!
