    Ok... Look at the picture, you have 3 buck tags and unbelievably the 3 bucks in the picture all walk into the opening at the same time. What order would you shoot them in? Which one 1st? 2nd? and last? and why?

    # I love the character

    #2 he is a brute

    #3 is no slouch either but ranks 3rd out of these 3 for me

    #2 cause he is just a brute and has age.
    #3 he looks older then #1.
    #1 cause you said we had 3 tags and we could shoot him. Would really like to see him the falling year when he masses up. I would be perfectly thrilled to kill just 2 out of the 3.

    2,3,1. 2 is wide and huge, 3 is nice and tall, 1 is a little tighter rack but still a great buck.

    #2 - he's huge
    #1 - like others said, awesome character
    #3 - because one of them has to be shot last

    #1 looks young still. I like #2's mass and #3 is cool because I like tall tined 8 pointers.

    score wise highest to lowest would be:
    #1 ( 180's NT 15 Point )
    #2 ( 160's typ. 9 point )
    #3 ( 140's typ. 8 point )

    Age wise my best guess would be
    #1- 5 y/o
    #2- 6 y/o
    #3- 4 y/o

    Anybody wanna change there mind?

    My picks are biased, but would be:

    #2
    #1
    #3

    I would shoot #1 first simply because I would love to shoot a non-typical. I really like the width of the #2 but the height of #3 is pretty impressive. I guess 2 would be second because he's got a neck like a horse.

    I figured #1 would score better then both but in " this " picture of just the 3 bucks... he looks younger and I figured him at 3.5 . After seeing your other post of all the bucks... I knew I made a mistake and then figured him at 4.5 and #3 at 4.5 .

    I still like #2 the best.
    #3 or #1 second ( who ever gave me the first shot )

    I have a 5 pointer "My First Ever Buck", 10 pointer, and 11 pointer on the wall and for some reason I have a very large drive to kill a MONSTER 8 pointer. I really want one bad. For some reason all my 8 pointers are very young ones and boy they are lucky because of that. I have a big 10 pointer gene pool at my spot. I wish one would stay an 8 point.

    #1- character and all those points. I can't kill anything but 8pts.

    #2- mass and width. I can't kill anything but 8pts.

    #3- no slouch but he's an 8pt and I can't kill anything but 8pts.

    Definately #2 first! Love the width and mass.

    #1 next because of the character and abnormal points

    #3 last, no slouch like others have stated. Definately wouldn't let him pass though if he came walking by.

    I like big 4x4s.. initially I thought he might be my 1st choice, the NT I can't see very good at that angle, picture doesnt do him justice imo, the big dude in the middle, yeah he's just a slob. All great bucks, chit I'd shoot any of them, who ever offered up the best shot first, then the next, and the final one.. any order.. if I had 3 tags and could shoot 3 in one day! imagine that hero picture! LMAO

    If I was going on rack alone I would probably go (looks not necessarily the score)
    3 because his rack is just about picture perfect, long brows, long G2 and everything is just how you picture its supposed to be
    1 because of character
    2 last because he has the ugliest rack of the 3

    If I was going off age
    2 6.5
    3 5.5
    1 4.5
