If I was on a 10 day hunt none of those are an option until day 9.

I would pass on them.  Ive been to Montana hunting deer now for 11 years.  Three of the years I came home with nothing.  Passed on many deer every day. I would rather hunt the entire week then to shoot something I would not be happy with.  I passed on a bunch of whitey's before shooting this Pig towards the end of the hunt!  But a trophy is in the eye of the beholder.  I have shot bucks smaller then that or equal to the deer pictured my first few years in Montana. I just love the hunt and don't want it to end to soon.  I can hunt an entire week in Montana and shoot nothing and come home completely satisfied.  I cant say that this was always the truth with me when I was younger.  I guess age does funny things to ya!!!

Different deer. G3 on the right antler are different Length and different location on main beam.

I will probably catch flak for this but , none of them . White tails dont really interest me

I know what you mean, muleys are the same for me, no interest at all.  Just can't get excited about them.

They'll beef up a little by next year but I think the wide one probably scores the best and he'll probably barely crack 110". If I were going to pay to hunt Montana I'd have a hard time pulling the trigger on any of them unless it was the last 5 minutes of the last day.

Can't really tell which one has the biggest hindquarters from the pics - but that one.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Something about buck 2 being big and heavy got my attention, would be interesting to hunt that beast.  :hunter:
