13" spread requirement - 10/09/16 01:07 PM
Hey Guys, I'm a fairly new deer hunter this season as I took a long break while raising two boys that were not interested in firearms and hunting... Yea bummer!. So my simple question is how do you estimate or figure out a legal buck with the 13" spread requirement as I don't think many of them are gonna hang around while you whip out your trusty ruler right?! Any general rules of thumb or do you use another body part for reference? Is this something a GW would measure after harvest? I'm hunting public land this year so there are check-in stations on some properties that you have to deal with. Thanks in advance for any insight.
