Same deer about a two weeks apart. We have a disagreement in our camp. How wide do you think he is?

Got any pics with his ears in a normal position? Is that feeder 24" across for width? I will throw 28-29" inside out there with that left beam flaring out based off those pics.

He sure is a wide one, I'd say every bit of 25" inside.

feeder box is 20 inches.
stx, this buck is a legend on our place. We actually think he is in decline. He had longer tines the last two years and even with all the rain is a little shorter this year. Nobody has ever seen him on the hoof. We only have a few daylight pics of him. As far as I know, we don't have a pic with ears extended. We think that's strange.

By the way, we don't have very many pics of him.

There is a 32 4/8" bow kill from last weekend on Los Cazadores.

TruTexican, how wide do you think the deer in your photo is?

Re: How wide? - 11/02/15 08:16 PM

Based on the bottom pic. I think he's pushing 30. I just hope we get to measure him. That bottom pic is at my feeder. The only feeder we have pics of him this year on the 23rd. I have a couple of night pics of him since.

This isn't professional in any way, but I zoomed in a bit on my screen and measured the feeder then measured his inside spread.

2" = 20" feeder
3 1/4" = Deer spread

So with that being said every inch on my screen is more or less 10 actual inches, I would guess him at 32-33" wide.

That's just broscience though, don't take my word for it.

28" +- 1". Using the feeder won't work.. he is closer than the feeder.

C'mon guys we gotta hype this buck up! It'll make it all the more exciting when he finally does step out.

Sorry, don't know Bill...so this ain't his buck. That buck was from La Salle County a few years ago.

UPDATE! Mr. Brows is down!

Well the buck that has been eluding us for years was taken Sunday 11/15 on the morning hunt about 7am. Only deer that came to the feeder that morning. I didn't kill him, but my best friend did. We are so proud somebody on our place killed him. He came in at 25" wide and grossed 165.75. This buck was a warrior and his right ear was damaged and split. Aged him at 7 or 8 yrs.

Awesome!!!! Glad someone was able get him and have the stories of him. I hate to see when big, old deer like that never get harvested and die of natural causes.
