Greatest inside spread is 19 6/8 inches. I didn't measure the greatest outside spread.

Coasthunter we definitely plan on getting him mounted. She has taken a 140 class 6x5 with her bow but this buck is a little bigger and being that size as a 4x4 he definitely looks much larger than her 6x5.

Runningboard the buck is 4 1/2 we have pictures of him last winter when he was 3 1/2 and he put on between 20-25 inches this year due to the mild winter and wet spring/summer we had. Our neighbor has pictures of him when he is unmistakably a 2 1/2. The processor estimated he weighed 240 lbs on the hoof.

Awesome buck!  You are a lucky man that your wife likes to hunt.  Congrats.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.
