What type of rack do you prefer?

Assuming they score identical with the same mass do you prefer the sky high tall racks with less spread or do you like them wide? Any preference if you had a choice?

Kinda both. My ideal buck would be around 22" spread with alot of mass and gotta have one drop tine. For some reason I like them. PLus tall tines but not to tall to make it look wierd. Someday when I shoot it I`ll show you. Hell if I see one I`ll post pic of it

I like em taller....

Here is a good example...the deer I took this year(top) scores almost 10% higher than the deer I took a few years ago(bottom) but I find them just about equal in qualityto my eye.

Well I KNOW I am walking in a mine field replying to this post but I would have to say the narrow tall racks get my attention ..ofcourse I suppose I may be a little bias ..

Honestly DD,

I think your buck is awesome because it is soo unique. However narrow and tallis my least favorite...They just don't look very natural....

umm, i like the mass, wide, with lots of points and droptines. but there's only one other rack that's better,

My favorites are dark wide long tinedsymmetrical 10 points with a lot a mass.

Of course I too am a little biased.

C. Davis,

Was the rack that dark when the deer was shot, or did the taxidermist darken it? Do you have any pics of the deer before it went to the Taxidermist ?

The reason I ask is that I know some Taxi's seem to darken the rack, not sure whether it is always intentional or not though...

Being in Florida I choose any thing longer than 5" but my dream buck is a wide 12 point with long tines and perfect symetry. Dark would make that perfect.
