Favorite antler type
« on: December 22, 2013, 09:05:11 PM »
I've been looking over my bone collection.  Figuring out which ones to keep and which ones to make into something.  I was asking myself; do I prefer a perfect symmetrical typical or a narly lopsided non-typical? I know what I prefer (other than meat in the freezer. ..). I would like to know what you prefer.  Thank you in advance

(Note: I added an "other" option....)

Typical no matter the species.  Just not a fan of a bunch of trash.  I would take a smaller typical over a bigger trash heap.   :chuckle:

When I dream of my "perfect deer" it has always been a wide and tall typical mule deer feeding up hill in the snow :drool: :drool:....

My goal in the next few years is to take a big 5x5 main-beam whitetail with tall eyeguards and symmetry to the 9's.

I wouldn't ever pass up a non-typical though.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

All I want is Meat.    :cue:  it doesn't matter to me but important is that I have meat in freezer.    :drool:

You don't see a difference in a doe and a tall 4x4 chocolate-racked mule deer buck?  Some peoples' kids...

For me I prefer a buck with mass or even palmation thus it would not probably be a high scoring buck
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I agree with sky, mass does it for me. And I love character, so non typical bucks really stand out to me.
