well here's my 2011 8 pointer... got out again Thursday morning.... saw a little buck after first light, then about 815 I had 3 does come into 10 yards from from tree, was thinking of shooting one of them, but glad I didn't.
about 30 minutes later I saw a 2 1/2 wide 8 pointer coming my way....right behind him was a much nicer tall 8 pointer, pretty good mass too....but he only looked 2 1/2 also, so I let him walk on past.....as they got about 45 yards away I grunted to get another look at him. He stopped kinda looked around and decided to keep going south.
He hadn't got out of sight for barely 5 minutes when I see him coming back from the north...thought well he did want to checkout the grunt after all... but as he got closer I could tell he was a bigger more mature 8 pointer, fairly wide...... and this being the best buck I've seen in stand this season I decided after he stopped at 35 yards broadside I was gonna shoot.....
Haven't measured him yet but he's 17" inside...
A couple with me and my hunting buddy Evan.....
