I ran the rough math........with 21 inch ears

82 units for the width
21 inches = 50x
x=.42
82(.42)= 34.4 inches

he is very close to 35. saylean and I saw a buck like him last year on my late hunt. we both glassed the buck over and said "no big deal" when we got closer we looked at each other and said how did we overlook him that badly? .. by that time the gig was up.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

I was thinking 19-21 on the ears.  The last six bucks I've had hands on (five were very mature bucks), ears were 18-22".  That's a 20" average. His ears are not straight out, they're up. That said, my guess is just nearly that... You're breaking down the photo on a graph. Splendid!  But I would say now from that frontal view that he's easily 30", and could really stretch to 35".
But that is my unscientific opinion.  That is a fine specimen and great digital capture.  :tup:

I'd say that he is between 31-32" wide.   I don't think he's over 32".

He sure got my attention when he turned and looked at me.  I went from get the heck out of my way you little bugger, to where the heck is my camera....and hold still dude its dark.   I rarely use the hood of my truck as a tripod/rest.  :chuckle:

Something tells me that the best pics of that last one are being decided upon for calendar consideration.

2nd estrous is about to start with the muleys.  Most rut activity had ground down to a halt.   I spent the day targeting whitetails which did not work out so good.   Full moon and blue skies I guess.   Started the day with good muleys and ended the day with them.  Fun times with Lil Bone.

23 Muley Bucks, 3 Whitetail bucks  Total 456......
