Default Mature Buck or old Gobbler?

Which is the toughest to harvest? Which has the ultimate survival tool (sense of smell vs. sight)? Which is the most rewarding to take? What gets the blood pumping the most?

I got into an argument with my dad over these questions today..

It depends on to many varibles.

Most of all hunting pressure, being more deer hunters, I would go with mature buck.

But if you hunt where Bloodcreek drives to work, then every bird will be educated as Dancalls to them driving down the road

Mature buck, fewer and farther between.

My blood races with both, gobblers are all too common, bucks are individually destinquishable.

Depends on where you hunt.

If God called down and told me I had to kill a 3.5yr old or older deer.....or a mature tom.

I'd choose the buck.
