This one I took an the last day of a 16 day tent-camp hunt. Temps were as low as 7 degrees. I passed up many other bucks, but this 8-point I could not let go. The shot was 8 yards and I recovered him as the sunset on me in the rain!

This buck was shot at noon, but I waited 3 hours before I took up the blood trail. It was a good thing because the low hit clipped one lung and he took me on a long track before finding him after dark.

Killed this Buck hunting with a good friend Keith Bruner. So good to take critters while hunting with good friends.Shot the deer several years ago with a Jeffery recurve I hunted with off and on for 20 years.RC

Mitten, your buck doesnt count! thread title was for 8-pointers not deer with over 8 inch circumference all the way out the main beam.. That deer should always remain as one of the all time greats to ever receive an arrow. A truely remarkable specimen of a whitetail.

Mike,
Shakes is the type of 8 point I've always dreamed about taking with Trad bow in hand...He sure has it all from body size to the crown on his head...An incredible creature that I for one appreiciate Gods creation of this animal...

Herdbull · « **Reply #72 on:** November 29, 2012, 07:58:00 AM »

Keefer , huskyarcher, and others.... Thank you so much for comenting on Tree Shaker. He did not have the longest tines or the number of points as other bucks in the area, but he did make his presance know. I got him Nov 4 before he got too run down from the rut. His cape, hair and body were in his prime. Yes, I am happy to have had the privlege to be in the woods with him for so many years. Mike PS, Yes I was a little younger in the other pics , but had to look back a ways to find sme 8s. Ha!

Keefer · « **Reply #74 on:** November 29, 2012, 05:20:00 PM »

Mike,
My daughter Ande just saw Shakes pic on here and I told her to go get my copy of your book where I had a few pics of Shakes and Twister in it that I made copys of last year..All she was saying was WOW LOOK at the size of that Buck..As I type this she is actually reading the opening page with you and Paula all by herself of "One With The Wilderness"...1st grade and reads better then me....Mike she now took my book and said I ain't done reading this...I think you just created another member of your fan club Mike and she wants you to come on and get another buck so she can put another pic in "Her" Book...

I was only in my stand for about 10 minutes and I grunted and this eight-pointer walked in front of me at 12 yards. Oct. 23/10 7:45am

Was in my tree stand for about an hour when this 8 pointer came walking behind a doe. Taken 2010 in Ohio.

BRIARS · « **Reply #77 on:** November 29, 2012, 10:04:00 PM »

Thats a big ol one. Look at the neck on that thing.

Mike,

The tent camp hunt, was that a Midwest hunt?

Barry Wensel · « **Reply #79 on:** November 29, 2012, 10:11:00 PM »

I saw one that was bigger than the 173" 4x4 I got in 2010. He was following a doe right to me at 35 yds. when another buck got too close to his girlfriend. He ran him off and swung wide. No shot. Also missed a 160" 4x4 on Nov. 21st. Shot right under his heart for a clean miss. No excuses. You still like me don't you? UB
