Tough call, I like the width of #2 but I LOVE the trash on #1!!  So I would probably go for #1, depending on how much time I had to look at them, if it was a quick decision I would shoot #2 as width catches my eye quicker!  But like others I wouldn't feel bad havin either of them hangin on the wall!!

While TESTAR77 is shootin #1, I'll be shooting #2.

I like the trash on #1, but I like the width of #2.

Bigger is better.

#1, love those stickers and he's not going to get any wider, #2 could get wider another year, plus #2 appears to have no eyguards from the pic, but if either was in bow range the arrows on it's way..

#2's a little lacking on the front left.  Does he have a #4 on the right?  Tough to tell but I think it's minus #4 on that side.

I'd still take #2 for his width.

#1 without question.  You guys must be seeing something on #2 that I am not (besides spread).  #1 has him on mass, height and (looks like) tine length.

#1 is really heavy, but #2 is pretty heavy too i think.

tough to say for because he's a long ways off. it almost looks like his forks might be as deep if not deeper than 1's.
at least on the left side.
there were more pics of him but now i can't find them.

They always look bigger from behind.  I am still going with #1.  More mass.

I like #2 better personally. Did from the first shots also. I tried to use his ears to judge the depth of his forks. With the exception of #1s right/front I think his forks are pretty much the same, maybe deeper. Definately wider. More symetrical.  :twocents:
