    This deer ive seen the last 3 years and this year he took a step backward! Gonna give him one more year I think to see if the drought had any affect on growth.(First two pics 2011 and this year) 3rd Picture both are eights and the one in front has done almost nothing in the last three years in terms of growth. The big 8 in the backround has my attention. Found all match sheds from all three last year.

    That would be a tough call, they are all good deer. If I had to choose, I would take the one in the 3rd picture on the right. I have always wanted a tall rack buck

    If thats all I had to choose from I'd look into golf or maybe even politics for my entertainment. Oh the burdens some of us must bear!

    What do you guys suppose that big 8 in the back will score? 130's maybe?

    I would take the buck in the 1st pic. I never shot an 8 point before so that one tickles my fancy.

    Yeah I know that first buck is a stud! He was bigger last year and I didnt see him till rifle(dont hunt rifle) season. Thats why I'm hoping he isnt heading down hill! hard to say.

    I think that 8 will go low 140s. Regardless, I would give either one of those bucks a dirtnap. Awesome deer.

    I'd shoot whichever walked by my stand first! Both look like great deer and I'd love the opportunity to harvest either one!

    I would take buck number 1 off my property. Looking at his body size and stature, he is old! He will likely start getting smaller in the up coming years. The other 2-3 deer look to be younger deer and could become ever bigger in the future.

    Take the one that hasn't had any growth...see if the other one gets better next year.
