More str8 on photo would be nice, so a good field judge would be needed, but I think he'd make it by a smudge

Does the drop tine count as part of the spread? Like, can you measure from the passenger side out to the drivers side drop tine?

edited to add: That'll pick you up a couple inches, easily.

I would say yes, I believe when his age is counted in the length of his tip to tip spread is larger than a two year old.

He'll make it. Barely. And no, on including the width of the drop in the IS measurement. Inside spread of the main beams, only. Cool buck cheers Good luck getting him!

No, can't do that. Measurement is across main beam at widest point at 90 degree angle to skull. Looks 3 or 4 years old so unless it is your biggest, might let him pass and hope it makes it. Looks barely wide enough. Maybe 13.5 to 14 inches. Being at dark, you have a small chance of seeing him again unless you have more stands since they are searching a lot. They seem to travel a lot at this point and this guy is smart getting corn at 2 am. Keep at it!

Thanks guys. I have him on camera over 4 different days but that first photo is the only head on alert photo . Some in daylight. The girlfriend saw the photos and immediately claimed him for his unique rack. I figured it was due to some type of injury to that side of the body .

Not sure of the area you hunt so it's difficult from the pic to determine body size, but he is a fully mature buck 5+ and from ear tip to ear tip should be 151/2-16". He is definitely not outside his ears but IMO easily 13+

Too close to risk. I'd be a little nervous squeezing the trigger on him. Cool buck though.
