I didn't ask permission to share it…bucks got 27" main beams 14" and 15" g2's….
Know a guy who has a 150's 8 killed on a little 30 acre tract of public right on side of the highway. Its amazing what a 150's 8 actually looks like

This is my avatar pic. The first buck I ever killed. Opening day of rifle in 1987. It a main frame 8. Double browtines on both and big kicker off the g2. Almost 6" bases. Never had him officially scored but I think he will gross almost 150 not counting the stickers.

Killed this one Nov 19th. We scored it at 158" gross by Boone & Crockett standards . I will have it scored officially after 60 days.

Are you sure that buck is not a 9 point? Unless my eyes are tricking me, there looks like another small point around an inch on one side.

Stud!

I wish you had it, too. No reason not to other than the agency catering to special interest groups.
Big 8s are my favorite. Dream deer is 140-150" 8

The biggest frame deer we have taken was that classic 6 point that my wife killed that just touched 130". I've killed 2 130" 8 points.
I recently got hold an 8 that just touched 160". If you have never held one, they are just bigger than you think. Takes a lot of bone to get to 150, much less 160". Pictures just can't do them justice.
I shot this one in 2019. He scored around 145". I had seen another large 8 as big as him on the same farm but was never able to connect on it.

Too many big ones posted here, makes my biggest 8's look small. I have killed a couple that are close to 130, about the best they seem to get around here.

One of our good family friends killed one about 15 years ago he went 158 gross but dried down. Unbelievable how big that deer is.
Same here. Always wanted to kill a giant 8 but biggest I've gotten is in the 130's. Had one a couple years ago that I hunted hard and got real close on, actually saw him from stand about 50yds away, but with a bow through the woods I couldn't do it. He'd have busted 150, possibly 160. This is him whipping his head around and snort wheezing at me when I grunted at him.

They're both 12.5"
Was that taken in Hamilton County?I have not shared this one, but we were happy to take him.
Unfortunately, he will not make the TN deer registry for gun, but is a good one.

I saw a better pic of that deer and that pic doesn't do it justice!!
