  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.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people? ![[Linked Image]](http://neoswarm.com/images/Bug_Crawling.gif)

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.
Secede!!

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?

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.
Secede!!

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.
Hunting in magnolia would be better in a gated community.
