Skyler named this buck the massive 8. It was one of the five on his hit list. We had spent a lot of time scouting late summer and found a spot that we had gotten trail cam pics of 4 good bucks and decide to hunt those bucks first and hunt a very good buck at another spot when the wind was right. Monday was the first night out and only saw a doe and fawn. He was disappointed at not seeing any bucks but was ready to go again Tuesday. We sat in a different spot that evening and this buck came along about 6:45. Skyler had an extreme case of buck fever and I was worry about the shot but he made a perfect one and we watched it fall after a 50 yard run. He used 300 grain xtp and 67 grains of R7. Broke the shoulder going in and stopped in the guts. The xtp was almost flat but still had the jacket and some weight to it.

That qualifies as massive to me. That must be close to 155-160 and for an 8 pt that's huge.
