Still no sign. Meanwhile this buck has been within 10 yds every sit…
Hot
Hope you get'em!
Thanks. Very hot. Hopes aren't high, as he's been moving at night and eating protein from the choice feeders. I emptied all of them out, hopefully he will play the game and start showing up at corn
Low 130's. As High Velocity said earlier, a main frame 8 has to be massive to get 140+.
Either way it would be a cool buck to put on the wall and is a textbook mature buck to harvest.

Stick him!
He never came closer than 60. The stand I'm sitting in is set up for a rifle. Gonna put my pop up out closer to the feeder
135 nice deer
This dude is an impressive 8 (assuming it's 8)! I shot a 9 that we called the High 9 that has a shockingly similar frame to this buck. Not wide but tall and heavy which are where most of your scoring comes from. My 9 went 149. I would guess this guy would be close to that.
140.5, but I never could find a good recipe for antlers. Good Luck!
He's a 9, has a ~3" point off the back of one brow
So that is the same buck as the OP? If so I kind of contradicted myself. He looks much heavier than I originally thought when looking at the last pic.
PS if you ever have any openings at your place give me a shout . You always have nice buck pics.

Yes same deer. The deer is 200#+. There is a 0% there will be any "ground shrinkage" with this deer… his horns look big for his body, and his body is massive.
Still looking for protein. At least he's hanging around the area I need him to. Will be back next weekend, hopefully he will start to play ball and eat corn by then. I like my odds, supposed to have some cooler weather + as dry as it's been there's not a ton of good browse
First pic since the 20th. Guess he's been looking for protein since then. He keeps this pattern a couple more days and he may find himself in a bind come Friday
Tandy. This a deer I killed in Karnes County a while back. I scored him 135ish if I remember right.
Pulling for you this weekend amigo. Offer still stands if you get in a bind loading that bruiser up!

130s ish
Little update. Still hunting him. The guy who owns the ranch seems to think it's funny to make this as tough as possible for me… bow hunting from a gun blind with the feeder at 50 yds. And we just filled a free choice feeder at 60 yds last weekend, which essentially guarantees he will never come into bow range. Have seen the deer twice in 15 sits.
Moved a pop up to another spot I thought he might go, but he's only been there once. He's been showing back up at his normal spot last couple of days, but I have a date Saturday and can't make it down.
To complicate things even more, the ranch is getting sold… prospective buyer is looking Saturday, and I'm pretty sure they're going to buy it (seems like an inside job by his broker to ensure he represents both sides of the transaction).
I probably have next weekend and maybe thanksgiving.
I will be taking my .308 next weekend.

I think its upper 130s. 8s have to be absolutely massive to push past that (yes, I know its a 9 with that kicker).
The body size is what pushed it to the over from the 132 original number.

Upper 30's is probably right… I had him at low 40's but after seeing him in person he doesn't have the mass or beam length

Archery is fun but sometimes you just gotta do what it takes.
I'm guessing 130
For reference this 8pt had a net score of 122 (self measured as best i could)
