Those Special 8 Points

Friend · January 19, 2018, 09:36:00 PM

Have relentlessly pursued a wonderful 8 point this past season. With possibly 6 1/2" bases and long G1's thru G3's, he Is a looker. Had captured pics of him standing in scrapes that I had implemented in May on several occasions. Unfortunately, we were never able to share the same time at these sets.

He has been utilizing one particular funnel every 2nd or 3rd day since late October and has continued into January. Also, a hi end 10 point has routinely shown. I purposely avoided setting up there as I would be more comfortable in setting up in this open area with considerable prep work.

My tentative plan is to start next season's setup in a couple of weeks. I certainly hope this buck has not peaked. My affinity for nice 8 points has always been high and this particular 8 point, has held my attention for quite some time.

If any of you have pics of special 8 points, please share and elaborate if you wish?

Thank you...

Oh Scott, Big 8s are so cool!!!
There's something about a Big Framed, High Scoring buck and he does it with only 8 points

My dream buck is a 160" 8

This guy showed up on my cams this summer!

I seen him ounce this fall on the 26th of October but he's disappeared since the first part of November.
I'm hopping he's still alive

Big 8 points are cool, but I can't lie, I prefer really big 6 points.

Good luck with your pursuits of these fine specimens

Big eight's are cool and big big sixes are really something. Hope he makes it thru the winter, with 6 1/2" bases he has some age on him.

Chased a tall big six this year but I shot over him, or I prefer to believe he ducked the arrow, lol. Hoping for another chance next year.

This was a great eight from 2015.

I found his sheds in March 2016.

Wow Creekwood what a buck! What do you think it would score? Thanks for sharing!

creekwood · January 21, 2018, 08:55:00 AM

Homey...measured 160ish. But that includes some speculation about things like width.

I had an 8 that I was chasing this year that had real dark antlers and pretty decent mass. What made him special apart from the dark antlers was that he had a knob on his main beam from a bug burrowing in during velvet. Can't post a picture but I finally caught up with him during gun season.

Homey88 · January 21, 2018, 10:01:00 PM

Awesome! Thanks creekwood amazing animal!
