The second one I think you should take if you get a chance, tough call on the first one...may only be 2 1/2 in the pics you have. Lean body and doe-like face still. But, if he comes in front of you and has added 15 inches, then I think he's got some problems too!

Tough call on the first, especially if he does add more this year (must be in Alaska, sun still up at 22:30?)In the second case looks like he's close. All depends on what your goals are, neitherlook like they've topped out yet.
If it was me, I wouldn't think twice about taking the first though.

From what I see now and expect in the coming season..
I'd smoke'em both.
The second is probably a shooter now and he'll only get better.
The first deserves consideration due to unique-ness and if he puts on another 15-20 inches this year ..he'll look awful good on the wall. Those extra stickers will add up too.

I agree the first buck is young, but I also think it will be very hard to pass on him this year. The second buck is a shooter this year without a doubt. Good luck chasing them!
