Which buck would you be getting after?

[Founder]

Are you a clean typical or non-typical like of hunter? Rifle or bow?

You've got two bucks here. Let's say you find them both this year scouting. The typical is living fairly close to a road......just a 30 minute walk. The non-typical lives 4 miles back in. You don't think you'll have much competition on him, but the typical you probably will.
You also only have 5 days of vacation time plus one weekend. So 7 days. You have to choose to hunt with your bow or your rifle.

Which buck do you go after and with what? Your bow or rifle?

I like the big typical. He's got a lot going on with those bases. Love to see him hard horned.

Top Buck. Backs are impressive and like the extra kickers

 

[Bocephus]

Bow, get that typical killed opening morning.

 

[yoteduster]

Both are nice bucks but would have to go for the non-typical with rifle...

 

[Easy_green]

I would go after the non typical with a rifle.

 

[ICMDEER]

I would be tickled with either. I'd likely go after the one where competition would be the least. I tend to like nontypical bucks better, but all things equal, I think I would go after that typical. He's a big-time stud.

The typical looks better to me. I'd go after him with a bow, the nontyp would be #2.

I am a trash buck guy. But given the choice between those two, I’m killing that typical with my muzzy.

 

[HuntnProf]

Either

I like extras—so top pic

 

[nontypical]

Although I like trash and character most of all, if those two were together I'd have to take that typical with any weapon! Well...I'd try lol

 

[Blue Mountain Muleys]

Either of them, they are both amazing bucks. I would use a rifle

 

[keeney143]

I will go for the two lol

 

[Drnaln]

I'd archery hunt the typical buck with all the time I had to hunt.

Typical, rifle. I just don't like the velvet look of deer these days.

If I don't see the typical after 3 days, I'll hike in and search for the non typical

Which ever one has the most mass. Don't care about bow or gun, dead is dead.

This is the buck in the top pic. Hunted him multiple years and still haunts my dreams. With that said I’m hunting the top buck for closure. ?

Cheater buck

Well, I was thinking that typical, but after seeing that non typical hard horned, I think I'll kill him.

Non-typical. The weapon is just a means to an end
