Favorite antler type

[Rainier10]

Anything that I think "wow" when I see it.  I mostly hunt mule deer and have several typical ones already.  My wife shot a smaller racked buck with a double main beam that I would have shot in a heartbeat just because it was different so my vote is non-typical mule deer.

I'm definitely a MASS man!

Trashy, tall basket racks, and mass love those massive racks.....

[blacktail378]

Any Typical with MASS!

[jackmaster]

what about the type that stand on two legs and yell at their poor hubbys

Big 4x4 black tail with tall eye guards. Dark, and heavy

[bowhunterwa87]

Cant beat a big heavy wt in my opinion

Im a mass man...................Id take war clubs over long tall skinny wide anyday, no matter the specie.

This was a really hard poll and I go back and forth on it. 

If there were six bucks, two whitetail, two blacktail, and two mule deer (typ and non typ of each species) and they all scored P&Y minimums +/- 5 points, I think I'd actually go for the typical blacktail but man it would be a tough one. 

I chose typical whitetail but most mature whitetails are trashy where I hunt and every night I see phantasms of heavy, stickery ghosts of mountain whitetail and I've got my eye on a 24" wide monster for next year.

People who say antlers don't matter probably haven't seen a 140+ buck up close in the wild.  Meat is important but if you think you've got a snowball's chance in h3ll of taking a specific mature buck, it doesn't even occur to most to take that scrawny little forkhorn.

i voted other, because to me it dont get much better than a big ole pig of a blacktail buck, bedded down in some nasty old patch of ferns and wind swept vinemaple, and i big black eye looking at you from a couple feet away, and then a mess of antlers making one bound and then all is silent, and the gray ghost is never to be seen again    , i also really like the looks of those european red stags

There is just something about a large Typical Muley that grabs me.  IMO there is nothing better.

Some people dig typical and some prefer trash but I think there is one universally appreciated trait...mass.

Mass is the one characteristic that can only be earned through years of survival.  Younger bucks can be tall, wide, and loaded with tines but mass is exclusive to older bucks and maybe that's why we all like it.

Tall, deep forked 3x3 mulie. Best there is.

[C-Money]

To me, nothing better than a classic looking mule deer rack.  No matter how many points, I just love those classic traits.

I like them all ...but a huge dark blacktail rack is hard to beat as far as lucks ...They are all unique in their own way !
