Not sure if he would be legal where I hunt in Texas. Is his inside spread 13" or greater? Most counties in Texas have gone to the rule where they upped the number from one buck to two bucks, but one has to have an inside spread of at least 13 inches and the other has to have at least one unbranched antler. Rule makes no sense to me and can start a whole nother huge debate. I have seen many young deer with wide spreads and plenty of old mature brutes that are heavy and go straight up. BTW, If I could have convinced myself he was at least 13", I would have shot him too.
Congrats
