Going from buckeye's post about the 2 ohio record bucks, if given a choice which would shoot? Also, to keep it fair, lets assume both bucks hold the world record. IMO, there is no contest, I would choose the Jerman buck. Non-typicals have never impressed me, especially the world record class, where they are really just a blob of horns and IMO not even in the same category as a huge typical.

So........what would you if both bucks were under your tree, and you could only shoot one.........

How you going to do me like that??? Man thats a tough question!

With a split second decision I would probably have shoot the non typical Beatty buck. But that isn't for certian though. I bet that Jerman buck looked like and absolute hog in the woods. It's a toss up really!

Thought I would add the pic for DC incase anyone missed it.
Left Jerman buck Right Beatty buck.

I have to agree. I would shoot the non typical if it gave me a shot, don't get me wrong but I prefer lage typicals or non typicals that resemble typicals with a drop tine or two.

IMO the lovstein buck is ugly. I'd shoot it and be happy but it wouldn't be my first pick.

There's no competetion between the 2 for me. I would shoot the typical everyday. If the two were running together it would never even cross my mind to shoot the non-typical. I probably would shoot him if I couldn't get a shot at the typical. But I am like you, the non-typical "blobs" don't impress me.

I'd take the typical.

I would shoot the big typical because to me a huge typical is more impressive than a huge non-typical, but dont get me wrong i would take either one on my wall.

I would be grateful to see a buck with even half as much antler
Oh and I would shoot both, with one arrow!!!! Honestly I can not pick because they are both awesome.
Which deer would whoop which in a fight???????????Huh now theres a question

Im a big fan of non-typical racks with alot of "junk", so you know my answer.

Oh Lord, both of those bucks would make me go .

If I had to choose one...I'd go for the absolutely crazy looking non typical.

I'd take Beatty's
