Had to choose mass on this one, although tine length is a favorite. In my experience though, usually good mass will carry good tine length as well. |

I voted that I don't care, until last year I didn't even bother hunting deer. When I finally did, it was only for meat. I'm kind of an anti-trophy hunter, I like to take "ordinary" critters out of the gene pool, I'd rather leave the biggest and best for seed. If there was one characteristic that I would choose, it's not on the poll. It's symetry, in antlers. To me a perfectly matched set, no matter what configuration, speaks to me. I'm not impressed with funky genetic mutations, causing junk sticking out everywhere, or malformed growth. My brother's got a 2x2 mule deer rack, that is one of my favorites, a perfectly shaped coat rack like a carpenter built it. Krusty |

Krusty --- End quote --- The cabin I used to hunt out of near Conconully had a heavy, tall, wide 2 point that I just loved. It was shot in the 50's, but the story goes that it was a huge bodied deer that had regressed back to a 2 point. *censored*s broke in and stole that bugger a few years back. If it has browtines to make it legal, I'd drop a big two point any day. |
