I shoot and don't give a rip.  Filled tags eat better than wide racks on the hoof.

I'd certainly deflate the middle guy.  Love his eyeguards too.

all the bench leg bucks around here vary so much because of the mix some of them are bigger because of the muledeer in them but almost all the deer we have killed over the years in relaxed position are18-20" avg we have had very few smaller and even fewer bigger than 20" the biggest was almost 22"
