I'm innocent of any misrepresentation as I don't even know who BigEight is :) My intent was simply to post a big 8 that others might like to see. Mods can delete if too offensive.
He is an impressive and very gracious guy. He has a lot of experience with chestnuts. He very kindly braved the dead of winter to get me some Elderberry cutting one year when I was experimenting with them in rootmakers. Like Wayne (wpbdeer) here he has helped lots of new folks with chestnut advice.
I'm not gonna comment on his weight since I've never seen him in person, but he scores very high in my book!
Here's an 8 from last yr we call sleepy. Granted he has about a 9" dagger from his base but cool buck anyway.He will be 7 this yr and in the danger zone.
