Default RE: How do you define a "top end".....

How can you quantify something or anything really relating to bucks, using anything other than inches? Even just saying the top 5-10% of mature bucks.... what makes them the top 5-10%.... are they taller at the shoulder, heavier, older, smell better????

We have a 10 pager on this vary topic already...

The question is based on inches but I am not asking how many inches is a top end buck in your area... I could care less if it is 80 inches or 200 inches....

I just want to know what criteriaa buckhas to make to be considered top end in your opinion.

Is it the top 10% of the bucks inan area.... Do you consider only state record bucks or bucks that flirt with the state record top end etc etc....

We are having trouble in that other thread with the definition of a "top end" buck... So I want to know what everyone's definition of a top end whitetail is....

In other words, I am asking you tomake a standard definition that would work no matter where you were hunting be it FL or IA.......
