Great bucks Guys. I'm telling you it never gets old seeing these 8 pt's in all their  different shapes and sizes. Reading on how the hunt went down makes it even better.

Hey UB, let's see some of your 4+4's???

It seems like I have a thing for eight pointers as I have taken many over the years with different weapons. This one from a few years back with my Titan, I saw him by my house when I was out before light checking traps. Later that day he chased that doe under my stand I was able to stop him at 25 paces for a clean shot.

Here's one from a few years back. He was bigger the year before and getting old. Had probably lost 50 lbs body weight from the previous year but was likely a solid 250. Had a broken main beam that year so I didn't take him

A buck from a year ago. Cruising at noon looking. He was only a 3 1/2 yr old but a tough season made me dump the string on him.

Here's my 2009 Indiana 8 pt.  As soon as I pulled my bow up that morning a small buck came in - palmated 3X2 or 3X4 if I remember right - probably heard me walking in, and started working a scrape in front of me.  Shortly a buck came in from behind me through a brushy area that bordered a standing cornfield, could tell by the sound of him walking he was a mature buck.  When he crossed a creek just behind me I got a look at him...he was pretty impressive with the wide rack and a cornstalk complete with an ear of corn wrapped up in his antlers.  I shot him at 6 yards with a big Snuffer and 50 yards later it was all over.  He was aged at 4 1/2 by the teeth and the inside spread was a touch over 23 inches.  Around 240 lbs live wt.

This Wisconsin buck was from 6 years ago. Wapiti RC, self knocked cedar arrow, STOS head.

I had seen him in late October about 1.5 miles from where I killed him.

He came in to very aggressive grunting on November 17th. He beat the snot out of a scrape 10 yards in front of me, and then got to work tearing up a tree, the whole time facing directly toward me. When he finally continued past me I shot him right through the heart at under ten yards.
