3 shooters - which one would you shoot?!

[louieagarcia]

In just a few more days, most won't be able to sleep in anticipation of the next sunrise on opening morning! In preparation for all the fun.......here's your scenario:

Its opening morning, break of dawn....and the bucks start showing up one at a time. All of a sudden you have multiple shooters (heavyweight with double drops, giant mainframe typ 10 and super WIDE big 8) all within range and plenty of light.

All monster bucks in every respect, which (ONE) would shoot and why?

P.S. This is completely hypothetical and for amusement purposes only. We all know this was a drought year

So, which would your arrow be pointing at? If someone does end up shooting something like this....you darn well better post it up!

Here is some eye candy to help you decide:
Buck #1 Heavy weight with double drops
Buck #2 Giant typical mainframe 10
Buck #3 Superwide BIG 8

[BBBGP]

1,2 and 3

#2, its a typical and doesn't look freakish.

[CentralTXHunter]

Since I’ve never killed big deer, I’ll probably shoot none of them after I die from a massive heart attack in the blind with a smile on my face.

Another option is I’m a two buck county with no restrictions so maybe I line up two of them with one arrow?

I would be torn. Severely. I’ve never killed a 10, a deer with a drop, or a super wide deer, so any of them would be a deer of a lifetime for me.

That is tough. Big 8 points are by far my favorite, and although I don't really like the look of #1, I think I'd have to go with him due to the double drops.

[TxMedic]

All are amazing deer that I would be over the moon to see, much less arrow…but, to me #1 and #3 are super unique…I honestly think #3 is the most “Texas” deer of the 3…plus, I love a big 8!

[Thunder Gun]

#1! Because out of the three which I'd probably never see again by themselves the rest of my life, I'm by far the least likely to see the drop tine buck again based on how its gone the last thirty years. If I squint hard enough I can talk myself into at least a decent chance at a poor man's #2 or #3 in the foreseeable future.

Cool post to get some insight on how others see things. Trophies are what you make of them!

#1

[12ring]

Numero uno !

[Smart]

1 with 3 a close second

[doeboy11]

Either the drop tine because I haven't seen one in the wild, or the 10 because I haven't shot one. Any of them would be great.

[Bone Thug]

I would choose - #1

[SmTx]

I read too much TTHA magazine as a kid. I'd shoot at the double drops

[Chad C]

The first one that showed up.

[Cooper]

#2....

[texan16]

#1 all day. Been deer hunting for 45 years, killed a ton of deer, but have never seen a drop tine buck in the woods on a low fence place.

[MASTERS]

Numero uno. I like them gnarly

Give ‘em another year

[breederbuck33]

#1 for me.

[LivinADream]

#1 for sure.

I've killed a really nice 10
Don't care for the looks of the super wide, laid back tines deer. Don't get me wrong, I'd shoot him in a heartbeat, but given the choice, he's #3 every time.

Double drop

[jrshuman]

I would have to go with #2

[cactusassjohn]

#1

[joey1656]

One.

Never got a drop tine. We did have a young 8 with a 2" drop one year near eden but we let it go, and never saw the deer again. It may have scored 120 so i'm not upset about passing.

[muzzlebrake]

For mass #1 bragging rights
For character #2 beauty
For uniqueness #3 just being different

Depends on my mood that day but probably #3

[cj7zrcool]

Low Fence:
#1
#3
#2

High Fence:
#3
#2
#1

[44mAG]

#1 for sure. I want a double drop deer very badly.

[tkuehn5410]

1 for the double drops

[skinsfan]

This is fun. I think #2, I’m pretty boring in my deer selection!

[Montec man]

Numero uno

[Txsurveyor2014]

Low fence = #1 without a doubt for me

[Duane]

1 no doubt. Although a wide buck does get my juices flowing. Especially when he's looking away from you.

[BRust]

#2 please

[youngbuck1]

1 for the drops

Agree.

#1 Because I love the mass and the drop tines. He carries that mass all the way through also. #2 second because those G2's are SICK!!! #3 third because I love a wide 8 but he has weak brow tines.

[Traildust]

I'd have shot the 3yo 8pt that came in 5 minutes before them!

#1, more for the mass, but the drops don't hurt.

Man deer #2 looks proud, nice mount. I think I'd shoot the drunk/stroke deer #1 first though, that rack is just super appealing to me.
