Which buck do you prefer?

[Danny Rowan]

Either one, a good buck is a good buck!

Danny

[bentpole]

One with a lot of junk on top! Chernoble[spelling] Lookin type Buck!

[Huntrdfk]

Either one for me, what really gets my attention is mass, I love antlers that have a lot of mass or some palmation.......

Im kinda partial to the young tender ones that drag easy...  

[Bert Frelink]

Me too BigRon,
I always go for the one that gives me the 15 yard quartering away shot!

Which ever one's the closest! I would'nt turn either one down. I like those non-typ's myself. Leonard.

[swp]

My dream buck would be a 10 or 12 pt. with a huge spread like 30", symetrical and lots of mass. Or a droptine non-typical would be cool too.

[SOS]

Some non-typicalls are cool looking, but if I was ever going to shoot a big one, I tend to symmetrical.

[WESTBROOK]

Anything with more than 8 points is non-typical around here! LOL

[James Wrenn]

Which ever gives me the shot I want. :)When they get in the freezer I can't tell one from the other anyway.  

[BMOELLER]

Big massive non-typical does it for me.  Although wide and tall tined typical wouldn't hurt either.

[Curtiss Cardinal]

The most magnificent buck I have ever seen in the Woods had double brow tines and double drop tines. He was, as far as I could tell after studying him from 40 yards with 10X50 binoculars, incredibly symetrical. If he had even a small sticker of a tine on one side it was on the other side. The double and double were just that too. He had jaw dropping mass and I have NO DOUBT he would have been the New World Record for anyone that was able to take him. Here is a question his appearance raised in me. If he is compltetly symetrical so there is limited, maybe 5/8", deductions is that really non-typical by the way they usually mean it?

[Earl E. Nov...mber]

There are some real trashy NT's out there, some I like some I don't. Can't say what makes the difference, probably balance, long tines and mass. Likewise a big Typical gets the old ticker spinning pretty good too. I do know that I can't help but feel a deer hunter who can't dream of "Big" deer, just doesn't seem to me to have much soul. Heck I like tenderloin and venison stew as well as anyone, but it's the lure of the next encounter with a big buck that really keeps me going to the deer woods each fall. If it was just the meat, I'd buy a hog, or a quarter of beef, certainly cheaper

[Marblesonac]

I'd rather have the non typical as they are a lot rarer.

A friend shot an 8 point DOE.  That's not exactly typical...

[vermonster13]

C2 some deer can be measured both ways, but only one score could be entered in the book if that was someone's intention. There would be deductions from a typical with junk on his rack. In my eyes the kickers and drops add character to the rack just as palmation does.

[kennym]

David,can we look at em both first? LOL Seriously,make mine a 180 typ,with some junk to knock the score down a little.........  

[hormoan]

I'm with the nontypical types, this was goliath. He was a pen rasied deer, but kind of give's a idea of how unique they really are. And lets ya dream a little of whats possiable.


Serious junk, but wow what a deer!

[Shawn Leonard]

I myself would love a big typical 20"s wide 25" main beams and tines from 5"s for brows to 10-12"s for the rest an 8,10 or 12, I would not be fussy. I have a non-typical, but nothing spectacular. shawn

[woodchucker]

Give me a "Busted-Up" 6 or 8 pointer any day!!!!!

I'll take a "Fighter" over a "Movie Star" any day of the season!!!!! I want a buck with the "nuggets" to stand and FIGHT!!!!! When that big old "perfect" 12 pointer comes out into the field and "shakes his rack" little old "Busted-Horn" comes running over and and KICKS HIS TAIL!!!!!

(or at least gives it his best shot,and makes the big boy wonder if he really IS the baddest buck in the woods)

[hill boy]

I prefer the largest and dumbest deer in the woods.Typical or non typical.
