So...If these two bucks ever present themselves to me in daylight, and I have to choose which one...which should I pick. The 10 pointer is wider,...and I believe older. However, the 9 pointer is much taller. I am not sure which deer would score better. I am on a low fence property, so both are potential shooters. What do yall think? Age, and which would score better....which would you choose. Thanks in advance. Attached Files Last edited by Jmjames1921; 10/26/20 01:40 PM.
