What buck are you taking?

[HoboGoggles]

Whichever one presents a better shot

You cannot go wrong with either but the top buck has a little more 'wow' factor

I'd be happy with either one but the top looks to be more mature. Good luck.

I'm taking the dink that he didn't mention by the tree.

Trick question, they’re on private.

Not today green jeans!

Bring home the meat.

The 3x4 for sure

Looks like the 4x5 is quartering away more...
Either one would be a beautiful buck to take.

3x4 for sure.

Take away the velvet and they go from DD cups to a D. The first deer going away isn’t real wide or deep in the forks - going away always looks bigger than it is and that takes it down to a big C cup. Mass isn’t great underneath that summer hat - his high school buddies call him pencil pecker for a reason - let that poor thing eat a sandwich and grow a year.

The other deer doesn’t make me salivate and get a knot in the stomach, so I’ll let my buddy shoot and I’ll hold out for a few more days. Lol

I'm in it for the top buck. Big frame is the coolest thing a deer can have.

Body size has always been tricky when trying to decide how big a buck is. Watch this video what buck are you taking and why?

3x4

That’s a tough one. I like the inline on that first one but man that 3 point is tall. I agree either

I took a friend (a newb hunter) into one of my honey holes and put him on 3 bucks in the same spot. One was a nice 4x4. Theye were feeding in their bedding spot. So they were up and down ans moving inconsistently. This would be his first buck. One was a very big forky, the other a 3x3, and the big 4x4. I asked him which one he wants to take. His respobse was literallt words of wisdom. He said " the one that presents the best shot".

Obviously the top buck is wgat I consider the better buck. But both are good bucks. Sometimes waiting for a shot on the one you want costs you both bucks. On my example above, I've hunted that particular spot several times, and taken several bucks there. However, I have also waited for the particular buck I wanted to present a good shot opportunity to have all the bucks slide out of the spot.

In short, I'd prefer the top buck, but I'd be gappt with either.
