Heck if it's gun season I'm shooting all three and using the group hunting rule. ;)

Well, I dont have a 140s or two on the wall, so I am shooting the first one I get a shot on.

Then like the 3rd grade math teacher asked the class, If 3 crows are sitting on the fence and one gets shot how many are left. Little Johnny raises his had and says zero. Teacher says that is not correct. Johnny says yes it is teach, if you shoot one the other 2 fly away.

So I could see getting one of the remaining two as they run off, again which ever I get my sights on first.

Very few people have a 140's on the wall in most of Michigan. In fact, outside of zone three I would say not many have one over 100".

My order would have been 2-3-1. And even knowing that 1 would score 20 points more than 2 I can honestly say I would have taken 2 first. I am a sucker for big and wide. I would rather shoot one that looks bigger but may actually score less.

Shooting all three would be quite the taxidermy bill for one year though.

And I might actually consider 3 before 2 just because I like his tine length, also both those bucks look older than #1 to me and score isn't as important to me as age.

X2....2 is a slob, 3 has awesome shape, 1 just looks younger with less mass

Well Dan not to beat a dead horse, but I'm with the others that stated they don't have a 140, let alone 2 of them.

Very few people have a 140's on the wall in most of Michigan. In fact, outside of zone three I would say not many have one over 100".


DS, I'm in zone 3 and don't have one (from Michigan) that scores over 100". :( Of course I have the excuse I'm new to hunting, only been doing it for 28yrs or so. :shock:

I liked #1 from the start.

Then as I looked at the posts I was a little suprised.
Glad to see he had the best score, for a minute I thought I was slipping.
