Mike,

Thanks for your help. I have both of these guys showing up regularly. I have all next week off and the rut is just getting into full swing. The 8 pointer has a little more mass I think and the outside spread is not bad. As for score I'm not sure what the difference would be. There is one that makes these boys look small around the area but he's camera shy!

Tough call from those pics.  If you had left off the 3rd pic I would have said I would shoot the 10, but the 3rd pic shows the mass the 8 has.  When you consider the width in pic 2 and how it makes him look like he does'nt have a lot of mass, but you see the mass in pic 3.  Now I'm thinking that is a really nice 8.

I hope I'm faced with that dillema in IL over the next week.  I leave in 48 hrs!

Whichever one presents me a good shot. I was picky during early season here. Won't be the rest of the year and either of them boys are shooters in my neck of the woods.

Looks to me like the 5 point might score a bit better, but the 4 point has a bit more mass going for him...

If you know there's a bigger buck in the area and you have time yet to hunt during the rut, I would let both of these bucks grow another year or two...

David, If given a choice,I'd take the 8pt. It looks like a real nice mature buck. Of course I might have to hold out for the bigger one If I knew for sure he's around somewhere.... Good Luck bud,any of those bucks will make you proud!

I also would take the 8 pointer. He looks a bit older than the 10. Hard decision though if the 10 came in first. LOL

I also would take the 8 pointer, due to the mass and the fact that he looks more mature to me, but reality tells me that the first one with a good shot opportunity would be my choice.

They are both nice but I would probably take the 10 simply because I've never killed a 10 with a bow  :D    :D    :D

Dave,I would wait for the camera shy one and shoot does in the meantime.Do you get extra doe tags there as well?
The eight does look perhaps a little older but its tough to tell.
Good hunting

Either shoot the 8 or the big camera shy fella. Let the 10 grow another year and he will be thick everywhere, THAT would be a nice deer then. Good luck!

Either one, both look like nice bucks to me. If they were both there, standing broadside, in range I would probebly shoot the 4 point. I am not sure that I understand some of the terms for antler size but he appears to have a great deal of "mass" if I am using the right term. I just like the look of him.

I would take the first one which gave me a shot, but if I had to pick, I would take the eight.  I love nice 8 pointers!
