Looks VERY close to me....a little too close for my comfort but may look different when you get eyes on him. Good luck to your daughter! Love seeing kids (especially young ladies) in the field.
I agree----too close and he is indeed young, give him a pass this season.
Y'all are missing the point... The man is asking a question about width, not for your management opinion.
Cut the guy some slack, he is trying to get his DAUGHTER her first deer!!
That said, I don't think he'll make the 13" requirement.
I did say too close, did you read that, the two kind of go together. Too close to take a chance on, and too young to be wide enough. Cut her some slack, it’s her first deer, if illegal so what?
He makes it and is 3.5+ in case you were wondering. Let your daughter take him if you and she wants to. Don't believe he has great genetics given his midlleish age.
text the picture to one of the GW in your County and ask them. My son was 15yo and did this with a deer on the camera. The GW said "yes, I think that one will make it but not by much". When he got the deer, he had already printed out a copy of the text message exchange and laminated it. He attached it right to the antler with his tag, since he was not with an adult at the moment. His older brother went and got him and the deer. They were confident if they got stopped, they were okay. The deer was literally right at 13-inches if you put a tape in the right spot. Move the tape up or down a hair and it could be just shy of the mark. If the GW says "No", be prepared to leave that deer alone.

Do you think though that would really hold up though?

No, and not worth risking it (or the effort for that matter) for a 2.5 year old buck.
