need help from camtracker experts (judging buck photo)
 
This is a Kansas buck, taken a few nights back right next to where I hang my stand.

I don't have cam trackers, so I don't know if the width is distorted because he's close to the camera or ??

Your best guess - is this a really wide deer, are the horns good mass or ???

its overexposed and close to the camera, so I can't really tell ....

THANKS

i'm no expert but if you look hard you can see his left eye in the bottom of the pic, and his left antler is only about four or five inches out from it. also notice he's just as wide as his ears. i'd say prob a sixteen inch spread, somewhat decent mass. i like the brow tines though. but as i said i'm no expert and i could be way off. anybody else got an opinion?

on second thought i took another look at it and i think my previous assumptionwas wrong, i had my screen scrolled to the left too far and missed theright half of the picture. [&:]i'd say he's seventeen inches wide inside, maybe pushing eighteen

A good rule of thumb IMO... the ears when in there normal stance as they are in the pic you have, are Apx 14" from the outside edges
