If you had a choice of killing a 6.5 year old 110" buck in
Tennessee or killing a let's say, a 165" 3.5 year old buck, wich
one would you pick. Be honest now!

Easy. 165". A 110" is 110" regardless if he is 2 or 10

165 at 3.5, wow! That might be next world record if it gets to 6.5! Maybe your shot will miss...lol  But of course a 165 is B&C and if you turn that down in TN you must have the best land going. More realistic would be a 120 3.5 compared to a 110 7.5. In that case I take the 7.5. Funny thing... I did that EXACTLY last year.

This almost like my 2 bucks in the field test.... I would kill the one with the bigger rack.... The term "MATURE BUCK" is over rated and missed use in some cases...JMO

Thomahawk,
A 160"+ buck at 3.5 in Tennessee, might not be as far fetched as
you might think. And no, it doesn't have to be on selected land.

165 DOES NOT make Boone and Crockett. It starts at 170 NET.
