So many of you were right about the deer not grossing 178”. You were low. Took the deer to Alabama Whitetail Museum today. The deer scored 170” typical and 180 1/8” non typical. It's worth mentioning that Alabama Whitetail Museum and Alabama Whitetail Records are one and the same and there have been numerous threads on here over the years about the people there, doing the scoring, not having a clue. Big differences between the AWR scores and final certified P&Y and B&C scores, on multiple heads. Not saying that is the case here, just mentioning it. Maybe they got that problem fixed. A 180" mainframe 8 is a world class animal, anywhere, much less here in AL. If that's what he officially scores, as Matt said above, the pics dont do it full justice. Fine buck. He's a super stud and congrats again to the hunter.

It's all good... you know I've never seen a 170 inch 8 pointer before. Glad to know Alabama is capable of producing such a monster....
Look at it this way.. . the largest 8 EVER submitted to B&C according to google is 183-1/8. For the longest time the World Record was tied at 180 3/4 with the 3rd being 179.
Woulda have been a World Record next year?
I wonder how many World Class bucks have been shot in Alabama over the year.. based on this thread no telling... maybe I've shot one.
This guy needs to be on the front cover of North American Whitetail.
But something tells me that ain't happening.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

Hope he wasn't just a real good 3 or 4 year old. We should all learn to pass on that deer. Even if you have NEVER seen a deer that good before, you should let him walk off and let the lucky neighbor shoot him. But you can get the " i passed him" badge of honor... doesn't take a much space on the wall as a shoulder mounted 3-4 yr old deer.

That is a totally different situation than passing a 125-130” 3 year old. But one thing is certain. That deer ain’t 3.

Heck of a deer. When will it be officially scored? *posted earlier in the thread* So many of you were right about the deer not grossing 178”. You were low. Took the deer to Alabama Whitetail Museum today. The deer scored 170” typical and 180 1/8” non typical.
We’re not dead. We just smell that way. Dayum. - AC870
Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22
