Are you serious!!??

I passed on a big 8 once that I thought would go mid-150's because I knew of deer in the area that would score bigger. I ended up shooting one of the bigger deer and it got swallowed by a river. Hindsight, dumbest thing I've ever done. The 8 was in his prime and dropped a good 15 inches the next year and was found dead with no sign of any wounds. Never again.

Man, I'm gonna have to get my hip waders out cause the stuff is getting deep!!! Passing on 8pts that are 180's, 160's and 150's. You guys either have some awesome bucks in your area or you have no Idea how to score. I don't think you realize how big a 150" 8pt let alone a 180" 8pt really is!!!
