i have a friend who is a guide up in edmunds in washington county. he ain't no midget, escpecially in the middle. he showed me some pics of deer he has shot, he fits inside of the width of one of the racks, gotta be 24-26", at least, with his gut, inside spread. according to him, deer are plentiful and large in his area, in fact there are too many in some spots that he pointed out, the just off-shore islands that are within an easy swim for a deer. he runs a check-in station, says his store and others in the area usually weigh in quite a few 200lb+ deer every year.
