Which buck are you taking and why?

Body size is always been tricky for me when judging antler size.

Seeing them side by side, I'm probably taking the 3x4. I'm probably taking him even if they're not side by side.

I'm an equal opportunity, non-discriminatory hunter. I happen to like big 3x4's.

I think he's the better buck.

Given the choice and the time, the 3X4. Body and rack appear bigger.

Yeah I wonder what he scores. I think he will score better than the 4x5.

Though that 3x4 is a stud for sure, I’m still shooting the 4x5. I like his looks a little better.

both studs.

Mallardsx2 · Aug 6, 2024

Either are bigger than I have ever killed. I would shoot the first one I had a good shot at.

Buckfever34 · Aug 6, 2024

I think the 3x4 is older so I’d take him.

yoteduster · Aug 6, 2024

They are both really nice bucks..if I had them both together I'd probably take the 3x4..if the 5x4 showed up first I don't think I'd pass on him

bighamr · Aug 6, 2024

Both are sweet bucks, but if they’re together I’m shooting the 3x4. Have a few like the 4x5.

ICMDEER · Aug 6, 2024

Which ever one I see first. I'd shoot either. Given time. and if both were out like they are in the video, I'd shoot the 5X4. But I agree the 4X3 is older and bigger bodied.

Great post. Thanks for sharing.

It's looking like your hard work is paying off. Good luck this year.

Probably the 4X5. If the 3X4 was a straight 3X3, that would change my mind. Heavy and high.

Scouting for a friend? BTW, I thought the commentary was amusing on the video.

The 4x5......smaller body....easier to drag

Yes helping a friend.

Tough choice on this one. I would probably shoot the 3x4. I had a somewhat similar situation to this a few years ago in Colorado. I ended up killing a 31" three point with a giant body at the end of the hunt after passing a couple bucks like the 4X5. I just have a thing for big bodied, old bucks.

What did he score as a three-point?
