    trophy whitetail verses predator

    i dont care hiking or driving.

    as you almost arrive at your whitetail pocket rut is in full swing you see a large buck on a saunter..

    you soon realize there is a predator on its heels..
    you let out a fawn call they both stop for a secound..

    which do you shoot.

    The deer is going to taste a whole lot better than the wolf, so I'm thinking shoot the deer first.
    Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    Dog first every time. If the buck that rutted up I'll prolly get him too. Easier to find another opportunity at a deer than a wolf.
    The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..

    Predator first, as mentioned, due to the rare opportunity.

    i would shoot a wolf first cause a deer may give you a chance after the first shot if it is in the rut but a wolf will not, besides if that wolf gets away he is not done killing.

    I’m shooting the buck, 1/100th of a second later, shots will ring out at the wolf

    What type of predator? Big difference as after shooting over a couple hundred coyotes, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot the big buck.

    A big wolf or big tom cougar, maybe another story depending on the size of the buck!
