Another "Which one would you take?" pic..

This is a shot I took last march of Hokkaido Sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis) that inhabit the island I live on in Japan. I had a great day taking pics, but these two bulls really stick out. The one on the right is a tremendous typical. No hunter I have shown this picture to has ever seen a bull this size. Absolutley huge! The one on the left is a very very rare non-typical 7X8. Most hunters here have never even seen a non-typical much less one this big. Extremly rare! I was incredibly lucky to have had the chance to take these pics, even though it was at about 600 yards.


So the question is, well I'm sure you know...

Normally I go non-typical, mash, trash, etc. But from the picture that typical just looks to good. So...

Typical for me. Great pic BTW.

I'm with ya Brett, I usually go for the non-tyipical (actually I've never had a chance during season) , but that one on the right is just HUGE! I probably would take too long deciding and I would end up with the one on the far right.

It`s hard to find bulls this size during season, but I think I'll do better this year than last. I bought a new pair of cross country skis with real seal skin on the bottom. Getting away from the roads is key here. I would love to trade a hunt here for a good deer or elk hunt back home!
