There you go!

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.
Krusty:
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.

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.
