Title: Antler Poll Number TWO
Post by: boneaddict on December 14, 2018, 06:13:50 AM: favorite to see in a rack?

Post by: Jpmiller on December 14, 2018, 06:39:24 AM: Mass but I love a tall rack too even if it's spindly. Never really got excited by width even though I know that's supposed to be the standard to go by. I kinda like those closed in basket racks

Post by: boneaddict on December 14, 2018, 06:42:44 AM: I have the perfect buck for you JP. I photographed him about 10 years ago. I still think of him often. I shed hunted hard for his bones, but never found them.

I would say this exactly for me too.

Id kill for a chance at a buck like this with my camera today. I think he was one of my very first "Calendar bucks". Back when 100% were from here in Washington.

Title: Re: Antler Poll Number TWO
Post by: blackveltbowhunter on December 14, 2018, 08:44:58 AM: Mass. But my biggest weakness is eyeguards, especially on Blacktails and muleys, another weird quirk is color. I love dark antler color, mix those two together and just leave the tape at home I will be happy!

Post by: C-Money on December 14, 2018, 08:55:33 AM: I like any buck...guess I'd prefer height over width, but a well balanced combination of all thee would be fine with me.
Title: Re: Antler Poll Number TWO
Post by: Tradhunter on December 14, 2018, 09:01:22 AM: Nice pic Bone! I love that buck. Reminds me of the big blacktail I shot at last year with my bow. Hit a limb haha. Not really funny though. I actually didn't put any effort in to finding him this year until later in the season just because I want darker antlers. He is narrow, tall, dark and has eye guards. Still haven't seen him this year but passed a real nice heavy tall 3 in hopes he will come around. Found one of his sheds while looking for him though so it backed my guess at 143''.

Post by: buggy on December 14, 2018, 10:09:37 AM: That buck is AWESOME!

I'm going with mass on this one because that usually means he's old/mature. A buck can be wide or tall but that doesn't necessarily mean hes old. Its very seldom you see a young buck with mass. At least in my experience.

I saw a buck very similar to this in the entiat a few years ago while glassing for a buddy that had the tag. Couldn’t convince him to shoot him. Said he was too narrow. I would have gladly put my tag on him

If that buck was standing next to his 30" wide twin brother I wouldn't even think twice about taking him! I love how his top tines look like they almost touch. thanks for sharing that Bone, what a cool buck

:yeah:
You should add “junk” as an option. I wonder how many ppl would still be “mass” and how many would change to “junk”
