John Newton of Bentonia, MS killed this 8 point on 12-25-07 at 4:50pm.  He was hunting on the family farm. The deer has a green score of 152, 21 1/4"inside spread, 5" bases, and the live weight was 185 lbs.  He had 1 game camera picture of the deer in January 2007.  This is John's largest buck in 30 years of hunting. He got to his stand (a 5 gallon bucket) on the edge of a 10 acre pasture at 3:30pm and this is the only deer that came out. John said, "I think I will put a permanent ladder stand on that pasture this summer.  I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas present.  Please remember that the birth of Jesus Christ is the reason for ALL Seasons."
