Either.

What say you @robby denning and at @Dioni A @Travis Hobbs ?

Curious to your reasoning as well.

Both are amazing bucks. Did I miss where you posted the GPS co-ordinates?

first one my crosshairs find.

Reasoning: I cannot be picky between those two!

 

[Schoolhousegrizz]

I find myself saying that I would shoot the 4x5 because I love 4x4 mainframes. However I think that has got me into trouble before. I think that 3x4 is a bigger buck.

I second this!

Take the 3x4 because he was so much bigger bodied than the 4x4.

Voices seemed impressed with how much bigger than the other he was, for that reason I am taking the 3x4.

3x4, bigger body, bigger frame, to my eye he looks to be the more mature buck. 4x5 isn’t a slacker either but the other buck makes him look like a dwarf

 

[WCB]

I said...BANG...basically instantly on the first buck...But given sitting there looking at them side by side probably the 3x4.

Any guesses on score?

Any guesses on score?

Gross = big enough
Net = still big enough

 

[Hnthrdr]

As a side note, I think it’s pretty important to have other deer around, especially other bucks when gauging size/ score. Yes we can all tell that forkie is a dink but sometimes you see small bodied deer with decent looking antlers and they go like 140, but they will look tiny next to a bigger bodied buck

 

[robby denning]

IMO, top buck. bottom buck just OK once he rubs. top buck is a big deer. score is overrated on a buck like that

 

[mxgsfmdpx]

I like that top buck personally! He's a shooter!

 

[Tnorman5991]

Second buck for sheer mass alone, both would be great trophies

 

[Scottf270]

I'm going 3x4 for sure. I'm a sucker for body size, maturity, and mass. I "score" things differently than most.

 

[wyodog]

Unless I worried about hunting pressure I’m going to keep looking for a while and hope those bucks don’t go anywhere. If I had to choose I would shoot the 4x5.

 

[S.Clancy]

The 3x4, no question.

 

[Deadfall]

neither one
