My initial impression was 28 or under when he was on the hoof.   Probably because he got his butt whooped and wasnt that impressive in size for body.  Staring at the photo, I thought maybe 29 and the longer I stared, maybe Im short changing him.   I think Ill stick with my first impression. 28, but most certainly under 30.

I think he's one tier bigger than the buck I shot last weekend which measured 26.5 outside spread. He's a good looking buck. Thanks for sharing him.

Here is a picture of my a buck my daughter shot a few years ago here in Washington.  Its 28 and 1/2 inches wide.  It is really hard to judge them until they hit the ground and you get a tape on them.

Bone, I think you need to sneak on up to wherever that little guy is sleeping and shoot him so we can end this wild and crazy assessment you have taxed all us poor hunters with!!!!  The proof is in the puddin!!!!!!  Better yet, maybe you could sneak up on him while he is taking his afternoon siesta and measure him while he snoozes!!!!  This will make you the master of all monster bucks in my book!!!! Your pictures are wonderful and you have to have some great sneaking ability to take them so lets see you at your best!!!!!! :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

The only true 30" frame I've seen in the field. Picture was taken 20+ years ago from a fly in trip in Idaho.

Looks like he has big ears and they are flat out. Widest tines tip out, I have a wide buck at 31' similar but I do not thinke he quite makes it. Going with 29".By the way great pictures Bone!

I've been eating tag soup for so long now that I'm malnourished and unable to judge.

Assuming 22" ears, I like him for 30".  Starboard flare does it.
