Shot a basket rack 8 pt my first trip out this year. It looked bigger in the scope (I think they call that ground shrinkage!) but still a nice rack to bring home. It weighed 170 lbs and took 2 shots to bring him down. The first neck shot just sent him on a run. I hit him again on the run with a 2nd shot that sent him on a roll. First attempt to shoot a deer on the run and surprised myself... but you don't have time to be nervous so pulling the trigger was easier. He is still in complete velvet too.
This was Saturday morning and my friend who went with me missed another 8 point that evening - but his shot was aprox 250 yards so I can't rag him too much!
