Ears are 15". It looks like the inside spread is about 2 inches past the ears so inside spread would be 19" I'd guess.

Dang, what a deer! Yeah, love that drop and that big brow.  However, I would estimate that inside spread closer to 18".

Rut is just getting started, first real good frost other night. Naw Terry, nice thought but I've only sat this stand once so far. This guy has showed up a bunch just at dark. This camera had 2240 pics in 12 days. I had a tree blow down and branches over camera so pic not real good.

This deer looks not bad on camera but in my opinion he needs another year or two to grow. He has good potential but what you can't see real well is he is only 3 points on right side including browtine. He's a last week of archery season buck at best in my book. I was calculating 18" at best and he'd go 125 non typical not much more.

I have a nice 8 and 10 pointer at another location that make this one look small. No camera over there though. Still over two months of archery season left, lots of time.

I'd love to have the rack in my hands to measure him and let you know!

I would put him at maybe 18" inside.  I'd also put him "inside my house".

Beauty of a deer and another year maybe could do him some good.

Good luck to you

I think 19.   I do think he will be more than 125 non-typ though.   He may be even 125 typ.  Nice deer.  Love the drop tine.

This looks like really tight quarters.  What brings in or generates so many pictures in such a short timeline?

Droptine...don't care about the spread!  He'd have an arrow shot at him!
