Height
Number of points

A buddy in the Okanagon killed a buck years ago that had a perfect four on his right and the left was just a round mass above his burr, about the size of a grapefruit. It would be interesting to see if buck's like these are similar year after year or if something happened when the burr was developing and the next year, they're just a meh' normal, ho hum everyday 4?

I love base points something about those little points coming out of the base cap.  Mass and height are nice too

I pondered this vote for a long time and realized that my favorite attribute wasn't on list. LOCATION is my favorite attribute. I have a one square mile area that I have hunted for the last 17 years. The smallest 3 pt buck I shot their means more to me than any single deer I've killed anywhere else. There is just something about killing a deer in a spot that you know like the back of your hand and outsmarting the deer and other hunters. :dunno:

Tough poll.....

   I love mass. But looking a rack without eyeguards is like looking at a rack with pasties. It just isn't complete.

tough to pick just one, but if I did it would probably be trash
