I hunt in Pike and Crenshaw counties which are not the in the heart of the black belt and I know of 4 in the past 3 years that I put my hands on that broke 150" (gross) including one that was 167", another was 173", one was 159" that had a broken end of a tine and a whopper 151" 8pt.

They are more common than you think in the right areas. I know of 2 more that were in front of game cameras regularly early in the year about 4 miles from my house.
