I am currently chasing a buck almost identical to yours.  But the tines are mine are straight.  No curves.  

Congrats.  I love big 8 pointers.

That's a nice deer "anywhere".  Fine work.   What was the range and caliber?

He was ghosting through some small cedars at about 60 yards. Every time he stopped I lost him, even with the scope. Finally he stuck his head into an opening and I shot him in the neck. Kimber .308 with a Zeiss 4X.

Outside spread is 21" and the brow tines are 10" and 11". Should've measured the main beams before dropping him off at a taxidermist. Sent the jaw off to be aged.

Man that's one hell of a nice buck...and a great short story...now we need the long version.

I was freezing in a ladder stand. It was 18 degrees F and windy. He was slowly working his way through some thick small cedars, from left to right about sixty yards in front of me. I saw movement, recognized it as a deer, then a large deer, then a buck, then a big buck. Never got a really good look at him the whole time, though. I kept losing him every time he stopped, and couldn't pick him up even with the scope. He was headed toward an opening, but I've learned the hard way not to wait for a better shot, to take the first one you can make. So as his neck passed through a little opening, I pulled the trigger. He dropped like he got hit by lightning. I waited a few minutes, then walked over. That's when I realized how big he was, and recognized him. I have three game camera pics of him, from fall 2012 and January 2013 and November 4th of this year.
