I'm trying to get my son his first branched antler deer this weekend. These 2 have shown up at the same stand the past few weeks. It will more than likely be whichever one steps out first but if they both come out at the same time, which one would you suggest shooting? A little background, overall we try to wait until deer are at least 4.5 years old (<500 acres with even smaller neighbors) but kids get a pass for a while. I don't think either of these are that old, thoughts on age or which one has the most potential for future years? I'm a big believer in working your way up and/or shooting something better than the year before. So far he has only shot a spike so he will definitely be moving up. But I also don't want him to shoot too big of a deer to make sure he has room to keep moving up until it is mature/trophy only. So these are the 2 that have been the most constant that I think meet his criteria.
Deer number 1 - 8 point
Deer number 2 - 8 point with a big freak point.
