Not sure what the AR rules are.. We Blessed with simple 4 deer county rules... They did put in the 13" rule dont do no good ta complain... Most people dont eat the rack, although thew are nice ta look at... Kids & grand kids gotta put down thar english books & learn dis hera HF if they gonna hunt... my humor not worth As stated before not an expert, the deer is getting close ta age, if not past stage were rack not gonna get any wider, like my tail-end does with age... Here it be a shooter, lot of bucks never get past the basket 13"+ stage, & older a deer gets tougher the meat.. Tis reason for meat tenderizer... i know i was raised in a far off place... As pappy once said: tis a lowfer, deer dont stand around ta judge here, they educated by the big bang therory ... i got cheap posts...

He looks legal to me

We have to remember a deer's ears get bigger with age just like the rest of him. A 2.5 yo bucks ears are generally considered 13 inches, not a 5.5-8.5 yo deer's ears. Those are gonna be wider across.
Thus, if he came out, I would probably be ok shooting him. Now that its too late to shoot him, unless he is hunted on an MLD place, I think we can all agree we would have shot him this year...next year he may decline and be inside 13 inches.
