A mature buck. Preferably one with an eye patch that smokes Marlboro Reds, but any mature buck will do.

A buck playing pirate with a nicotine addiction would certainly be one heck of a trophy. Good call! Only thing to top that would be for him to have the winning Mega Millions ticket stuck to his hoof that he picked up crossing the Golden Corral parking lot. While fleeing a urban rut hunt.

Based on just statistics I would love anything above a 150 typical or 180 plus non typical.

I would really love to shoot one of them like many of you have where you had some history on the buck and moved in for the kill. Yes I would be happy if one just happened to run my way but it would be the cherry on top if I had some history followed by a killer setup based on the history I got on the buck.

I feel like I'm setting realistic goals.

I had one within 30 yards of me twice this year and I never finished the job.

275 dressed somewhere south of Canada. 170typical with mass would be a nice bonus.

For me it would be a heavy main frame 12 pointer with stickers at the bases and a dressed weight of 250 or better.

A buck I have passed or missed and have some history with that is bigger later on. Shot my dream typical this year (missed him 2 years ago), and now it’d be cool to get a big heavy non-typical. I could about hang it up if I got one of those.

Realistically for where I hunt something in the upper 150s to 160 is about as big as I could ever hope to encounter. Clean typical with tall tines and lots of mass.
