My favorite deer

[boneaddict]

For whatever reason.....One of my favorite bucks is a true 5x5 muley (nothing to do with eyeguards.)  One of my favorite threads on here is that old 5 point thread.    Hopefully I will see some good 5 points this fall.  Here is one from last week.  Do you guys have anything particular that is your favorite attribute or characteristic....

Cool pic. 

My favorite attribute is symmetry.  (Or was the question in reference to your favorite thread?  If so ... bigfoot hands down.  LOL)

[Bob Williams1]

Kinda thinkin that one in YOUR AVATAR would work out right for me 

[h20hunter]

I'm with rover.....I love symmetry.

On the flip side....the ugly nasty goofy junky racks are cool in their own right.

[lewy]

I like the trashy bases....

[C-Money]

I like muleys that have polished white antler tips that turn upward with dark main beams and bases.

[boneaddict]

No Rover, you have the idea.  You'd love the buck I got this year.  I have never seen such symmetry with the tape.

[boneaddict]

I just added this pic to the 5 point thread, so sorry for the double post, but you can see his forks a bit better with this one.

Hey Bone not to jack the thread, but what camera do you use to get such awesome pictures? I assume digital SLR but how big of a lens? Thanks....and I really like one of a kind racks symmetry is great but ones that have a lot of character dark bases with white tips and unique bases as well.

[boneaddict]

400mm lens, with a 2x extender if need be.

Wow cool thanks

Not sure what it is, but a big clean 4 X 4 whitetail turns my crank.  Not the basket - racked 120'ers, i'm talking 150"+ WT's.  As always great picture, masher muley for sure. 

[Gringo31]

I like em heavy!

I think I prefer tall over wide....but heavy with a white face

Right now my favorite is what I don't have, something with some trash,kickers, stickers or a droptine.

  for sure number 1 in my book

It really doesn't have to do with antler size.....

Have you ever been in the woods maybe watching a medium size buck and a few does during the rut and all of a sudden the woods go quiet, the does stop and look up and that nice medium size buck just kind of wonders off?  Then, out comes "mr. big", his neck is as stiff as a board, his belly hangs low and he is a little staunch in the joints.  Everything in the woods, not just the deer, kind of tips their hat to him as it is a rare moment that his rack sees the light of day.  That's what I look for this time of year.

A big  heavy 4x4 blacktail with eyeguards

I'm a fan of MASS, and a classic 5 by 5 whitetail, or 4 by 4 mule deer.

[hunting4sanity]

I haven't got very many deer and so my favorite attribute is a buck with steady crosshairs on his vitals.  Anything big would be great, but if 'pretty good' comes along and tempts me for very long I get itchy trigger finger quick.

I like height first and width second.  Nothing goofier looking than a wide whitetail without the tine length.

This is a buck from last year.  I have pictures of him this year but won't post until I kill him.   

[tgomez]

Good luck Johnathan, HOPE you get that Hogg. Hello of a buck man.

[coachcw]

mass and trash !

[seandrew]

Droptines!!!

[Rainier10]

Droptines!!!

And stickers and kickers too, that is a beautiful buck, that is exactly what I am looking for.

[elkoholic1]

holly drop tines batman!!!!      awesome bucks for sure all of them!!

like this?

He does have short tines, but if he shows up this year id gladly take him. He has the body of a horse, old buck on the downhill ride.

   so how old do you think that deer is?

[TommyH]

?? It gets a bit harder to tell after 4.5, his body dwarfs the other 3.5 -4.5 year olds in this spot. He hasn't shown up this year?? was hoping he made it threw the winter and predators.....
