Last years sheds were 27-28.  He is finally sticking his head in the feeder.  Hopefully he will drop them in there.

Make a call on the spread given tip to tip on a mature bucks ears.  Let me know what you think please.

Finally, one in the feeder and one outside on the opposite side.  That is a 2 liter pop bottle.

Tip to tip on a mature whitey is 16-18".  I will post a pic later with a tape measure.  I think it is pretty close to how it would have been if harvested.   A friend of mine missed that buck 3 times in the last 3 years with his bow.  The buck has been on the decline for the last couple of years.

I posted them last year.  Got tired of arguing about the spread on him.  I will look for them and repost.

I'm no good at guessing, but he looks mighty wide.

26"     :dunno:

I think you hit it dead on at 26"  He could be an inch either way.  I may get that one mounted.

Maybe 22. Inside spread. What's each side tape out at? That would give a little better perspective
