    I would shoot the cow horn buck. Most likely the older of the 2.

    If i was huntin my farm in Michigan i would shoot the one that came by first and presented the best shot.But the second one looks more mature IMO.

    Top one for sure!!! I don't think the other one is all that old but just has bad genes.

    2nd buck for sure. I don't care who is older or has the better genes, he's just a cool looking buck.

    I would definitely shoot the second one. Looks to be the older of the two and I wouldn't mind getting rid of those genes (unless the deformed rack is from an injury)?

    I wish you could choose in real life, but in all reality I would shoot the first one first.

    Bingo! I have been watching him for three years now and he was a nice 10 last year until he broke off the left side at the skull. He must of done enough damage to grow the spike only. I want BOTH!

    Dawg I would let the first go until next year. He looks young and he looks like he is going to be huge next year

    The older of the two. Although that first one is a beautiful looking buck, tall and symetrical!

    the first one has a lot of potential left for sure...I'd take number 2 anyway if I had the oppurtunity to choose. I like wierd racks as much as big ones.

    sounds like a fetish?
    anyhoo, I agree with the concept of taking the non-typical if possible. The young one's going to be a beast next year.

    The first picture because of the bigger rack but if i owned the property i would take the one with the messed up head gear to get him out of the herd
