About 25"
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

It looks close to 30" to me.  Here's a pic of one I got in 2006 which is just over 25" wide, and the one in the pic above looks quite a bit wider to me.

My guess, the buck in the truck is decieving because it's not a very tall rack and the ears are laid back, both of which make it appear bigger. I tried to visualize those ears forward and would guess he is about 26", give or take an inch. :twocents:

can't see the pic at work.  Marking the thread so I can check it when I get home.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Hard to tell without the ears.  I'd say 27"
