I would have to say 19 1/2. My grandpa shot a buck that the antlers were the same width as that one.

I would LOVE to show some pictures with me putting a tape to him! :D

I really think 22" is about right. I've always heard 14" ear to ear and that the ear itself is 5 or 6" long. Using that as a guideline if you say there is at least another 1/2 of an ear to get to the inside of the antler that would get you to 20" which I think would be the conservative guess. I really think you could go 4" on each side plus the 14" ear to ear which would get you to 22".

I would also love to find his sheds this spring because I think that might help judge how big he is also. In several of the pictures it looks like his G2's are short but I think they are more like 8" or so and if you go with that then you could almost say that 3 of his G2's would fit inside his spread so that would be 24" inside spread.

I think he is about at his prime so not sure if next years set of antlers will be even bigger or not.

I would love to find out. I have 1 set of pictures of him during the daylight during the hunting season, but I'm getting WAY more pictures this spring after actively managing for deer for a full year when the previous owner of the land hadn't done anything to attract deer in the past.

Interesting to see the guesses.

In relation to the ears I'd say he's @ 22" or 23". Try to find them shed's;)
