Heavy 8 Age & Score

[perfectstorm]

Age & score please on this heavy 8 point...
Would you shoot him if he was under your bow stand?
(He was a heavy, narrower true 9 point last year)

Shooter in my book

[Mexico]

Looks 4...110

[ACCURACYINC]

4.5 and 125ish

[gonzaleziam]

Maybe 120

[perfectstorm]

I keep going back & forth on whether he is shooter. If he walks under the stand it will be a tough call. Guestimated him at 4 last year (give or take a year). Just expected more out of him this year. He's larger framed & legal now but lost a true point and some of the narliness/twisted mass on that beam.

Anyone have any experience with a buck whos dropped a point before? Did they get it back the next year?

4.5 110ish

Nothing special about him....maybe cull him as a basic 8 at 4.5?

[ForEverlast]

Shoot him he did not jump enough in score and he is of age...looks 4 and 115-120 range

[hoythitman]

Looks 4.5 in most of the pictures. But when he ins't bending to eat or facing you he looks more 5.5

125 +-

If he tickles your fancy when you see him in bow range then shoot him. I think he is no more than 4.5 at a score of no more than 125. I personally don't think he will become that much bigger. I'd shoot him as a management for sure. Get those genetics out of there.

I had a 9 pt that went to an 8 pt and then went to an 11 pt (typical 10 with a sticker). I've had them go from a g4 on the left side as a 9 pt and the next yr have a g4 on the right side but not the left. Kinda hard to predict.

4.5 126-129 i would let him get to 5.5 he might be a nicer big 8 next year!

[Kingslayer]

Looks young..

I think he maybe 4.5 with and not scoring no more than 110. Nothing special. Would be a great kid deer.
