I’m fortunate enough to afford the butcher shop so I’m looking for decor for the cabin.

If that was an option it would be great but they aren’t fenced in or living on a thousand acres where people pay to be selective. They are just passing through my small piece of land lined with hunters on all sides.

The buck on the right appears to be the older of the 2

The forced perspective effect in the photograph makes him appear smaller but his antlers are probably as big or bigger than the one on the left

The one in the back seems to be larger with more mass.

Last year we ran through 7 deer a cow, a bunch if chickens some pork and fish.

I think they may have shot 8 this year. We like deer its generally more expensive than buying beef if honest in you figuring time gas equipment and tags. I prefer deer over beef most of the time being more lean.

With our population decimated by wolves if I saw 2 nice bucks together like that I would have a heart attack before I pulled the trigger. If I survived I would take the one on the left but be happy with either one.
