Just want to know what y’all think. If this buck would be legal in a 13” rule county. Shot him 2 years ago. A lot of my friends that come over give me a hard time on it lol I have the official tbga score. I will say he had some ground shrinkage when I shot him but still one of my favorite hunts! ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/12/full-37896-267927-19c6575d_4ab4_41eb_92fa_4b139cc8cf00.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/12/full-37896-267928-image.jpg)

Yes, the ears aren’t in the “alert” position which is used to judge 13inch spread. Easily legal.

Your buddy’s are just wondering why you would shoulder mount that deer. He’s legal by a couple inches.

The AR should be utilized prior to this point.

I assume you have a tape and know but I would say he makes it. What’s TBGA? Texas Big Game Awards. Its not a contest and its free. Pretty much co sponsored by TPWD and TWA. It recognizes with a certificate the big game animals in Texas that meet a minimum BC score requirement. The minimums are set by Region. Kind of like the BC book for Texas with much lower score minimums.

If I saw him in the field I’d say he meets the 13”. The fact you have him mounted on your wall also leads me to believe he makes it.

Inside Spread is 14 1/8
Overall score 125 1/8
Not a lot of mass but long tines and main beams helped him out
Aged at 5y/o
Shot in Houston County.

Wow that deer must've had a tiny head and body because that racks looks a lot wider than 14".

If you hunt in an AR county and see a buck like that, you can bet there are bigger bucks out there!
If you have doubt let him walk!
