I'd take that 6 if it came my way, but i'd rather have a 150" ten.

Well I must say that I never shot a 6 pt. (have everything else from spike to 11 pt!! :lol: ) so I guess that one would be tempting.

That six would not be legal here in Missouri, A legal buck has to have at least 4 points on one side at least one inch long. three years ago i had to pass a six point twice that was about that size maybe a few inches inches smaller. :doh:

I would hate to be either of the deer because the first one that walked by would be getting the shaft!

10 pointer.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

That's bites Josh. That's why I think it's a good idea for states that have APR's to also have an "OR" ear tip to ear tip spread option so that rare trophies like that can be taken. He is obviously a mature animal and I would almost certainly take him if he was standing next to a 150" ten point.

We have same rule in MN. A six like that is powerball type deer. APR are fine if the other choice is kill em all.

thats a tough one....i have to say the six...a 150 inch 10 is something that if you hunt smart and put alot of effort into it, or even travel and money, you could have at least one 150 inch 10 by the end of your life...that six,,most of us will never see one like that.

I'd take either,like mentioned,that's a freak 6 that you're probably not going see too many of. Guess it really depends on where I'm hunting at and who came in first and gave a shot.

I'd take the first buck to come through here in WI. Mass is primary qualifier when field judging a "shooter"

In a scenario, with both bucks giving shot opportunties at the same time, I'd take the 150"
