Default Honestly what would you do?
shoot a basket 10 with a droptine or
shoot a huge symetrical 8 that would roughly score around 100

Huge & 100 do not go together.

I’ve already shot a droptine so given the choices I’d shoot neither buck.

A 100" buck is not a huge buck, although I would definitely shoot either off of state land...

X2! I actually chuckled when i read that. I guess living in Illinois has me "spoiled". I don't think huge for an 8 pointeruntil about the 140" mark.
