Ditto! 150" clean 8 points usually have the "frame" and "wow factor" of a 170" 10 point. I'm a sucker for big frames, regardless of score. They look awesome on the wall!
can anyone tell me what is the largest 8 point taken in Tennessee

My grandfather killed this one 10 or 12 years ago. Not a TN deer but a giant 8pt. Figured I'd share since we are posting deer pornography:

I told my son when he took that buck that he had just killed a world class deer. There are definitely some larger bucks that will make B&C but very few 8 points. It is a great story and I will share it at some point in next couple of years.
We were blessed and the rack is over in the corner of room behind my desk. I need to get it on the wall.
168"
Not to take away from others who posted, but that would be a dreamer for me right there.
Love the heavy mass!
Awesome deer! He is a 10 pt where i come from!
The suspense man let's see it
Me too.
Me too a point is a point is a point ..

I know of a 159" 8 point out of Humphreys County and a few more.....but I have to believe that the biggest bucks will never be seen unless you go into the house they hold space on the wall....

I have held my hands on one that I thought could be the biggest in the state. It was never entered in any books that I am aware of. Most hunters in TN will never kill a buck with base measurements that this deer had in his G2s. Certainly a good deer for argument for the people that want to see something like a water displacement scoring system.
I killed a decent eight in ' 87 and when I went to pick it up at the Taxidermist there was this giant eight point right beside mine . Mine deer was pushing 120's and it looked like a yearling next to this buck . Guy supposedly worked @ Bowater going home on hwy 163 seen the buck with a doe . Went home came back and shot him . The Taxidermist said he taped the buck and he was in the 150's . Mass all the way out the main beams and tines . Truly the biggest eight point I've ever seen in person .

He doesn't have a brow tine on one side and the one small point is only about half an inch.

I measured one about 10 or so years ago for a taxidermist buddy of mine. It scored 163" or 164" gross…….can't remember exact. He was mounting a 10pt the same year that scored within a few inches. The 8pt dwarfed the 10pt. It was absolutely huge. I used to have a picture of it mounted somewhere but don't know where it is.

Also, I have killed two including the one in my avatar right at 140".

I held a 160 class 8 point rack in my hands a few years back. It was a Mizzou deer though. Regardless, it was an incredible rack

I killed a 130 8 this year. My biggest to date. Had 12 inch 2s. I tagged out on him and was tickled to death. I decided to leave my cams out for my up and comers for 2024. Found out I've got a 140s 8 on cam regularly. I've never wanted a 3 buck limit so bad.

I stood next to a 162" 8pt just yesterday that was killed in East Tn several years back. Monster!
