Ok... Look at the picture. Its gun season, you have 3 buck tags and unbelievably the 3 bucks in the picture all walk into the opening at the same time. What order are you shooting them in? Which one dies 1st? 2nd? and last? and why?

If they were all standing in a field close enaugh for a good shot, I would shoot Buck # 2.
I would only shoot one if them, and come back at a later date for another one.
Maybe the next year so they could grow bigger.

In VA we have to shoot a doe before we can shoot a second buck, and we have to shoot a second doe before we can shoot a third buck. So if I haven't shot any does yet, I can only shoot one and I would take #2. It I have two does on my tag already (which I wouldn't because I don't care to take that many does usually), I would take #2, #3, then #1. Then I would have about six hours of work ahead of me trying to drag all three of those monsters out of the remote location where I hunt.

I would go with #3, then #1, then #2. #3 to me is what a giant whitetail should be. Beautiful 8 point rack with tall tines and some decent mass. #1 has the most character and #2 is just a massive, wide racked buck. Granted wouldn't turn any of them down come season.

score wise highest to lowest would be:
#1 ( 180's NT 15 Point )
#2 ( 160's typ. 9 point )
#3 ( 140's typ. 8 point )
Age wise my best guess would be
#1- 5 y/o
#2- 6 y/o
#3- 4 y/o
Anybody wanna change there mind?
My picks are biased, but would be:

#1
#3
