How would these deer score?
Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated. These are the two biggest I have captured on camera so far this year. Wondering if I need to let them grow another year or if one is maybe good enough to shoot.
Thanks
Thanks

the smaller one will go 110 and the bigger one will go 125 give or take a few inches on both of them. they are both nice bucks if you can let'em grow do it but if you will be happy with one of them on your wall then stick on of them.

Nice Bucks,if you are a new hunter bow or gun, I would take which ever one gives you a shot. Getting that first nice Buck or Doe does wonders for your confidence on later hunts. If you have hunted and killed bigger Bucks then let em grow and eat some Does if you want that good meat in the freezer. It's your call and I personally would not blame you for shooting any legal deer you've worked for.Good Hunting to ya!

Thanks for all the input. I may try and let them grow another year if I can stand it. I believe they won't see to much pressure this year as only one other person hunts this area occassionally and the land abuts 1,500 acres of unhunted woods. Maybe I will find another big one to shoot this year.

It would be stretching it to get 120 from either of them. If it would be your 1st buck to harvest, then by all means, if you are happy putting one of them on your wall and it is a legal buck, then have at it. Personally I would let them grow and harvest a doe for the freezer.
