I shot this big guy the 2nd day of firearms season in northern Indiana. This is my biggest buck to date. He green scored 157". The one brow tine is 11 2/8 long! I shot him with a TC Contender in 30-30 caliber at 95 yrds. I belly crawled 75 yrds to get to the edge of a picked corn field in knee high wet weeds to get within 200 yrds of him. He was following a doe that was in heat. There were two other smaller bucks that were 75 yrds in front of me. To make a long story short, He tried to run the two smaller bucks off. When he did this he stopped broadside at 95 yrds. I had a good steady rest and took the shot and dropped him in his tracks. Last year in this same field within one hundred yards of the shot, my son shot his first buck, an 8 pt that scored 140 2/8 pts. I kind of like this field!  |

WOW!
There is something about big eights that get me going. A 157 eight is huge. Excellent deer with great mass..
Congratulations and welcome to Hunting-Indiana

BTW - extend my congratulations to your son. A 140 2/8" eight pointer is a great start for sure. Tough to follow, but a great start.
