Aces and Eights..

Haha I did that joe, but it doesnt sway my thoughts on you. I still hate you! ha
Id put him right at the 150 mark. Tine length isnt there for 160s. He is a dandy though, id take him! ha
 
You sure the amish petting zoo is going to let you hunt their deer farm Joe? That is pretty nice of them. Good luck buddy, I am rooting for you!
 
Dang nice array of bucks Joe! Don't listen to the "other guy", Tank or the Tall 8 are shooters! Too bad the Tall 8's right side didn't match his left more, I'd still swarp him! BUT.........If he gets thru to next year..........Look the FUGG out!

My buddy saw this dude out in the field yesterday evening with about 6 other dink bucks. He is peeling his velvet. This dude didn't grow any larger. He's a hell of a seven and should be something worth shooting next year. Maybe... lol

None of them showed up last week on the cam they're usually at, and the other cams batts were dead.

Oh well Cest La Vie. I knew they may disappear for a bit when they peeled and season got closer... They're still there.. Hopefully..lol

We'll they showed back up... Well, just as i thought. Not shooters. Pretty spindly racks.... Haven't seen ole tank in a while... I'll be about a 1/4 mile away in the direction the cams facing opening day hoping something bigger comes through the cut.

I'm coming up close to JD's guessimation as well. I'm coming up with 140- 142 gross. The beams are always the toughest to judge but I figured 23" per side or 46"total. Spread around 15.5 to 16.5 on the inside(again tough to judge by the angle). I'd have a hard time passing a 140" class CLEAN 8.........but thats me! Hope you wack a monster Joe!
 
Those are both real nice bucks. I would shoot the tall 8 before the wide 8, but damn fine bucks either way. Hope you get a chance !
