Largest 8 pointer ever

[propster]

We'll hear about it soon enough. A buck recently killed near Cannon Falls that is a true 4 x 4 that reportedly grosses in the 190's and nets like 189. Previous biggest in the world I was aware of was a gun kill that went 185. I forget the state. I've seen a pic on a cell phone. It looks like it is that big, but I don't know who scored it, and whether they can be trusted they knew what they were doing. But supposedly 27" inside and 32" beams. If it is as claimed, this would be North American Whitetail cover-type stuff, so don't know how soon he'll publicize. If I find out more and he's okay with it, I'll keep you all posted. Thought I'd throw this out just to get everyone all keyed up! Good luck the next several days - they'll be the best of the year.

Saw a picture on a different site, this thing is a pig!

I have heard of many of these from year to year.

I will wait to see it and then decide.

Too many out there trying to fool others.

[propster]

I think you'll be impressed Harvey. I know I was. Biggest I've ever officially scored was a 222 non-typ, but nowdays those are almost a dime a dozen. This as a clean typical is in a class by itself. I'm scoring it tomorrow for him and will post the stats.

Can someone possibly post a pic of this beast. Im dying to see.

I was trying to post that but it didnt work. Thats an awfully impressive rack though. The base is like a couple tree trunks.

[tweedlap]

Wow, the thing is perfect. A beautiful rack.

Jeez...talk about mass...what a tank of a deer

[JeffB]

It sure makes my last 8 point look small along with every other deer I've shot.

[AlwysFshn]

Wow, a true monster. That thing is a freak!

[FISHINGURU]

he told me it measures 189 3/8

[muskyhunter57]

What a beast...When was he taken?

[ac777]

SO you tell your buddies, Ya I shot a decent 8. And they see and they would about fall over. Thats an awesome deer.

[paceman]

Good Lord what a Buck!!!!!!!!

[Cooter]

Man thats a monster, I can't imagine a 190" 8 point - will be cool to see the official score.

[CrowRiverRat83]

What a beast...When was he taken?

According to the article, it was taken just this past weekend.

Just received this E-mail

Possible record 8 point shot near Cannon Falls, MN

The taxidermist has measured him at 192" gross and net 189" green score. He was shot east of Cannon

Falls this past weekend. Supposedly the nearby land owners have had

sheds and trail camera's of this mammoth, but have been pretty tight

lipped about it. His last couple of years sheds showed pretty much the

same frame without the extreme mass he has this year. Don't know how

much he weighed or how old he was, but truly an old buck. It goes to

show that even leaving the 8 pointers go and grow up can really make

them something special some day.

Looks like a great deer. The mass measurements must be unreal to reach 190" (even with spectacular 32" main beams and 27" inside spread) since the tine length isn't astonishing.

Very cool that it is coming out of MN!

[Bear55]

You gotta love mass!!! I'd like to see some pics with the deer, any idea what it dressed out at?

[Still_Huntin]

I can't wait to hear the story on this, the guy that harvested this buck has zero credibility. If there isn't a witness I will never believe it, neither will any of the locals.

[Cooter]

Is it time to stir the pot and throw the [PoorWordUsage] flag on 190" for an 8pt? Pics can sure be deceiving but.....a true monster regardless of the score, deer of several lifetimes.

[Still_Huntin]

The buck is a great specimen, I'd never take anything away from a deer like that reguardless of score. If you knew the guy that shot it you'd throw red flags up instantly, I just hope this animal was taken fairly. I know for a fact the deer is legit the flag is the hunter.
