Default How wide is this guy?

How wide do you guys think this guys is. Wish I got his other side in the photo. I think he is well over 20 inches. Most of our deer around here are at 16" at the ears, so he must be close to 25". Am I right or looking at the photo wrong?

Yeah, he's reasonablywide! Looks like his antlers grewout instead of massive. Maybe next year he will add some mass and keep that wide spread.

He looks to be around 25-30". Nice deer, but I'd let him get a bit more mass built up. In another 5-6 years he'll be a nice deer.

18-20...maybe 21ish

the angle of the picture makes it look like the main beam keeps going out farther than it really does...he aint too much past the ears if you look at the angle and the curve...hes out past the ears...but he aint no 25+! he aughta be REALLY nice next year when he picks up some mass and tine legnth!

heck...for all we know thats the only side he got! dont laugh...anythings possible...ive seen it many times...or thats his good side..the other could be a spike or a club...or just non-exsistant...but assuming he got both sides id say hes 18-19. maybbbbbe 20-21 but i doubt it

I want to retract my answer. After analyzing how the flash is refracting off of his main beam, I've got to say I think his other side is out past his ear at least 3 times farther than it is on the visible side. I'd have to say that thing is closer to 4 feet wide. Let 'em grow and you'll have yourself a dandy.
