Why The Tyrannosaur Buck?

He says, and I quote, "A male. Buck only." Now, this is quite interesting to me. In Jurassic Park, it's the females that are generally regarded as being bigger than the males. So why does Roland want the male? I can think of three main reasons...
1. Looks-
While the female tyrannosaurs hold the size in Jurassic Park, the males are more striking in appearance. They have big throat pouches, bigger crests, brighter colors, and often scars all over their snouts. Perhaps Roland wanted to hunt the male for that reason(like how a male lion has a big mane).
2. Ethics-
Hunters usually take males over females because it's the ethical thing to do. Roland certainly seemed like a pretty good guy(better than Ludlow at least). Maybe he just figured he should take the male over the female because of that.
3. He Didn't Know-
Or maybe Roland simply didn't know the females were larger. Perhaps he assumed based on his past expierience that the males held the size(big cats, bears, wolves, etc). He figured if he wanted the bigger individual, he'd have to hunt the male.
Like I said, I just found this interesting...
