RE: A Trophy is a Trophy - Typical or Non-Typical?
Nontypical antlers have alot to do with age. If you hunt in an area where the deer are not allowed to reach their prime, then chances are your never going to kill or even see a nontypical deer. There are lots and lots and lots of nontypical deer killed down here each year. I was looking at the leaderboard and entries at the various deer contest this year and like always, it appears that most of the deer entered where nontypicals. Personally I have about 5 different "dream bucks" with the #1 being a 175"+ perfect 12 pointer. I've been lucky and have taken several high scoring bucks, most of which being nontyicals. If a 160 class 10 pointer was standing next to a 160 class nontyical, I would take the nontyical. I love both types of bucks, and if there mature and have trophy size horns, I'm taking him........
