Brian Payne Report post Posted March 26, 2009 My favorite trophy collections have some of each, but I agree with the consensus that massive bucks are very apealing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted March 26, 2009 Mike, I dont know if I have ever seen that buck! He is awesome! Tall, and heavy with big eyeguards! Awesome buck! What was his score? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted March 26, 2009 I like the tall and wide ones with alot of mass. AMEN!!! All or nothin! Gotta have it all to get to 120"..... and lets face we all want the 120's! Honestly I prefir length.... but, if he is wide that that helps.... every inch is improtant, but that length is really what matters to me! Long G1's, 2's, 3's......and I'd really like some G4's with long beams!!!! Wide bucks often have potentially longer beams as well as the added spread.... so that is a bonus! Oh.... and if they have junk... then they are generally a No Brainer!! Cody, the mount looks great... I hope you are still grinnin' every time you see him on the wall!

I think i might have come up with a score just under 80 inches but I have zero trust in my scoreing abilities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azryan Report post Posted March 26, 2009 The buck in the 1st pic is what I like the best...although the buck in the 2nd pic is tempting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lookin4amonster Report post Posted March 26, 2009 I prefer wide bucks personally.. they seem more symetrical to me Tall bucks look kinda goofy to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted March 27, 2009 I prefer them proportional. No wider than high or vice-versa. A good balanced rack slightly wider than the ears is just about right to me - oh yeah and drop in a split brow tine and a dropper or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DubTee Report post Posted April 2, 2009 I personally like taller bucks better because they normally score better. I agree with the others, massive horned deer are even better. I make my annual trip back to the midwest to bowhunt whitetails every November, shot this dude last year in WI, wide as all get out (25 inside) but doesn't score worth a crap. We had all kinds of trail cam pics of him, we knew he was a 4 1/2 year old with some messed up genes, he got a little close while chasing a doe and I let him have it. Hope the pic works.

Coues Archer Report post Posted April 5, 2009 I like my bucks to be wide with MASS. Thats the way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjhunt2 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 I've shot both and I don't know what that has to do with the taste. Yes, most on here think trophy size matters but that is only in the eyes of the beholder so that is out of the guestion. I prefer both on my grill. Now what was the guestion again?
