3rd

1 or 2, both look older to me and have passed their prime. #1 would be my first pick to shoot.

3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Agree with grout- scout, and TPACK

#1, he looks mature, #3 looks the best, but could use another year.

#1 looks the oldest and most mature to me. Really hard to age with only front quartering towards pics.

I wouldn't harvest any of them, but if you need some help... LMK!

I would take #1 and give the other two another year.

The unfortunate part is that we hadn’t seen any of these bucks in previous years, and I doubt we’ll see them again next year. Only 98 acres.

I like #1 because of his width, guessing 19+

Never seen them before on 98 acres, take any one of the three. You likely won't see them again.

I’m trying to get my 76 year old father-in-law to be patient and put in the time to wait one of them out, but his new slogan is, “I’m getting too old for this [censored]!”

Here’s a full body shot of buck #3

For your purpose I’d say any of the three would generate excitement and a smile.

Hard to say 1 is the only one that looks mature to me. With that last pic 3 is probably there too. If your seeing all that on 98 acres something is getting through the season, not all your neighbors stink.

I personally like #2.

Good for him. I no longer hunt for horns, I hunt for the fun of it. Of course I will take a big one if the chance comes by.

Number 3 but whichever showed up. Probably let 2 walk.

wide 8 #1

On my way today. We'll see what happens

Didn’t see any bucks. Very slow.

#1

If you are only hunting on 98 acres and have hunters on property around you, shoot whichever one of them you see.

And if you dad is 76 and still hunting with you, let him shoot any legal deer. My dad turns 90 tomorrow. This year was the first year I know of he didn't get out deer hunting.

You make a lot of sense. Thank you!!!!
