Trophy deer poll

[predatorG]

Just wondering what everyone on here fancies as their deer of choice. I'd have to say a big Blacktail. Something about them and the way you have to work for them.

Put 3 solid typical 150 bc class 4x4's of each subspecies,  and my eyes will always go to the blackie.

Anybody's would, right? I mean a 150" mule deer is a big buck, a 150" whitetail is a big buck, but a 150" blacktail is world class bomber buck and then some.

muley madness for me.  the symbol of the American west.

Blacktail. However I would be tickled  pink with any of them. I regularly hunt all three and love them all.

No, Jack,  what I meant to say, or should have said was, if you knew nothing about deer, but was observant enough to notice they were three different subspecies of deer, the blacktail would still stand out.

A mature blacktail buck has more allure for me than a mule deer or whitetail.

Muley everytime for me!

[JimmyHoffa]

blacktail here

Mule deer because that is what I am around the most.  I would shoot any of the three if given the opportunity and would really like to shoot a big whitetail or blacktail, I have plenty of muleys already.

I may be the only guy on here but mature whitetails are where its at.

I grew up hunting mule deer. So that would be the trophy that would mean the most to me. But I would love to take a trophy of all three.

I think that's likely to be true, assuming the 150 BT is the old, knobby, dark horned, massy buck we envision. 

Of course, there are 150 class mulies that have those same characteristics (I have one in my garage), and 150 class California BT's that look a lot like a regular old spindly mule deer.
