What would you do? If you were reasonably confident you could kill the first buck in September in a few nights would you wait and hunt the second buck in November or just hunt the first one now?

Buck #1 is showing in daylight and #2 is nocturnal now.

Decisions, decisions...

I'm having a genuinely hard time deciding.

**OOPS reverse the pictures...**

I say hunt #1 now. His character is just too cool to pass on at any time for me!

OOPS !!!! I didn't see your OOPS!

OK certainly wait! I was wondering on why the indecision. ? Can i recant my vote? Absentee ballot?

B-Nut · « **Reply #2 on:** September 08, 2013, 06:19:11 PM »

Buck #1 is pretty cool. I would go for it.

Jonathan_S · « **Reply #3 on:** September 08, 2013, 06:19:58 PM »

I posted the pics in the reverse order though. I really want "Mr. Character" but he's super elusive now and the other buck is coming by very consistently in daylight.

I vote for the one with all the points on his bases, but I would shoot the other one in a heartbeat.

724wd · « **Reply #5 on:** September 08, 2013, 07:11:49 PM »

whichever comes in first, but know that my decisions are always based on wanting meat in the freezer!

pwaldee · « **Reply #6 on:** September 08, 2013, 07:18:36 PM »

the one with the junk

DBHAWTHORNE · « **Reply #7 on:** September 08, 2013, 07:37:18 PM »

I would wait.

Jonathan_S · « **Reply #8 on:** September 08, 2013, 07:40:46 PM »

I definitely want the trashy one because he's so wide but I think I am not even going to that stand until November because he's such a crafty bugger.

Here's a picture that shows off his width.

bowhunterforever · « **Reply #9 on:** September 08, 2013, 07:48:05 PM »

Trashy wide buck for sure

wait

DBHAWTHORNE · « **Reply #10 on:** September 08, 2013, 08:49:56 PM »

He is worth waiting for

BOWHUNTER45 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 08, 2013, 08:53:17 PM »

No brainer

#1

HornHoarder · « **Reply #12 on:** September 08, 2013, 08:54:59 PM »

Definately hold out for the big guy.

Jonathan_S · « **Reply #14 on:** September 09, 2013, 08:57:25 AM »

Anyone have a guess at his width?

borntoslay · « **Reply #15 on:** September 11, 2013, 05:18:57 PM »

23 or so outside?? thats my guess. thats a beautiful buck man

abhold87 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 12, 2013, 04:00:46 PM »

Kinda rare to have a chance at a big non-typical so deffinetly the trashy one. His character is awesome

jackelope · « **Reply #17 on:** September 12, 2013, 04:03:24 PM »

I'd wait too but what are the odds that someone else will have a shot at him or he doesn't come in then....you willing to eat your tag? I assume you are looking at the quality of bucks you're hunting.

Pathfinder101 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 12, 2013, 05:13:00 PM »

Depends how much time you will have for him in Nov. I'd like to think that I could hold out...but....

tazman2800 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 12, 2013, 07:46:36 PM »

I would shoot whichever one I saw first.

hambone · « **Reply #20 on:** September 12, 2013, 08:33:19 PM »

I would take him as soon as you can there is no way that someone else has not seen that buck if you dont get him first some one else will good luck

splitshot · « **Reply #21 on:** September 13, 2013, 12:21:55 PM »

they look like the same deer. mike w

6haase6 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 13, 2013, 12:58:42 PM »

I wouldn't shoot anything but the hog. My judgement is a touch skewed this year though. Said I would buy the multi deer one time and I would kill a buck of a lifetime. So far I've held up to my standards.

headshot5 · « **Reply #23 on:** September 13, 2013, 01:43:05 PM »

I'd take the one that shows up in front of you first. I like the trash on the wide buck, but wouldn't hold out just for him.

It's reasonably doubtful that he'll be tagged by anyone else, this is in a unit open for a long late archery season so I'm long on time to hunt him

bowhunterforever · « **Reply #26 on:** September 14, 2013, 01:23:54 PM »

Have you gotten any pics of buck one since he shed his velvet?

Jonathan_S · « **Reply #27 on:** September 14, 2013, 05:04:44 PM »

I haven't checked the camera since August, I am trying to steer clear of him for awhile. I might sit in that stand later in the month if it cools off but otherwise, not until November.

It's an area that really gets the worst of the hot sun so there is no point trying to hunt it right now.

bowhunterforever · « **Reply #28 on:** September 14, 2013, 08:40:13 PM »

Be sure and post some pics of that beast when you check your cam again

and good luck when you try for him

pwaldee · « **Reply #29 on:** September 15, 2013, 02:40:56 PM »

looks like a saltece or a green bluff buck

Jonathan_S · « **Reply #30 on:** September 15, 2013, 02:42:02 PM »

I wish he was that close
