I would shoot the smaller, based only on the fact that it would be my first buck...otherwise after a few under my belt, I would hold out for the larger one.

Are you kidding me? I'd try shootin both and hope your huntin partner won't mind when you tell him you need to borrow his tag Definetly hold out for the big guy.

Can you imagine the rush???!!! After I saw that big'un, those other two deer would disappear from my brain. I wouldn't have to choose.

I'd be so glad that I was holding my bow instead of a gun, it would be all that much better (for me).

Buckeye, the season is over, it's just wrong for you to do this to us.

What would I do? I think I would have to change my underwear first to keep my scent control under wraps. AHHHHHHHHH why would someone do this to us that can't hunt for another 8 months? Why I must ask?

I would wait for the big boy, shoot him and quietly creep down and sneak out of Tink's private pen for the dominate buck lure.

This would probably be a harder decision for someone who has been waiting to take their first deer. However, for the rest of us it is a no brainer in my opinion. Like you said, it is once in a lifetime opportunity. I would definetly hold out. Hopefully, I went to church that week!

Wait and see if I get a shot at the bigone. Even though the "small" buck would be my biggest to date, and is what looks to be 4 1/2 yrs old, I love watching deer. This would be a GREAT opportunity for me to learn about deer behaviour, and I may be rewarded with a MONSTER. Great question.
