Oh he is wide I just don't see 30. I would definitely knock him down and double check.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I've got two 30+ inchers on the wall,  so I have a pretty good idea of what it looks like. I'm not sure this guy quite gets there, but I'd bet the farm he's at least 28".   The picture really doesn't do him justice.   Unfortunately, he was on property I do not have the right to hunt🙁

His left antler is more laid out than the picture really shows.  When he had his ears straight out, there was about 3" of clearance.

I could tell you exactly how many inches the buck on the left is if you tell us how many inches away from it you were when you shot the pic.

How wide is the buck on the left?

IDK...there has been way too many times I stuck a deer and thought it was way smaller then it was amd when I get up to it it's huge...now that's with archery.  Back when I hunted modern it was the opposite I thought the buck was huge thenumber when I got closer it got way smaller.  IDK Y it's like this for me.
