Would that 30" be outside spread?!?! And if so, to get the outside spread, do you just measure straight across from the the farthest outside points?!?!

I am thinking just under...but he's not "quite" straight on enough to know for sure!

Yep... haven't been too critical of him. Some angles he looked really wide, some, not so much. His flare is decieving. His ears were about 24. He was a big old deer. All you need is 3 on a side....

Post by: boneaddict on November 15, 2010, 05:14:24 PM: I got on him for two days. I got within 10 yards of him. I was shooting him with my 70-200 full frame.

Title: Re: "30 3"
Post by: boneaddict on November 16, 2010, 06:08:38 AM: I had him about 29. Just wishful thinking on him. He was a cool deer. I got damn near close enough to measure him myself. I thought maybe his flare made it. Its always hard to tell in pics, but he was a large deer. I should have taken pics of his tracks. Looked like an elk.

Title: Re: "30 3"
Post by: bearhunter99 on November 16, 2010, 06:24:01 AM: What a stud three point, I have a shed from one similar to that but I am pretty sure he would have been many many miles from where that pic was taken.

Title: Re: "30 3"
Post by: Lowedog on November 16, 2010, 07:49:27 AM: I would say he is really close to 30". Like to see him grow a 4th point next year!
Title: Re: "30 3"
Post by: McCascades on November 16, 2010, 07:53:01 AM: In the second photo the aspect is not quite perfect, but I think this deer might make the 30" mark. A mulies ears are somewhere between 22" and 24" when alert. This guys antlers are well past his ear tips. At his widest point he's gotta be darn close if not over. A darn nice buck. I really enjoy your photos.
Title: Re: "30 3"
Post by: boneaddict on November 16, 2010, 11:27:46 AM: Thank you. I generally call a deers ears 23 on a big one, and 22 if 4 years old or so. I think this guy had 24 inch ears. I just love him. He probably won't grow a 4th. I wish he had a little more moss on his bases, like basket. He had his own harem and none of the other big boys cared to bother him.

Post by: boneaddict on November 16, 2010, 11:34:17 AM: Chainsaw is in back. I bet there is a lot of stuff down. Timing should have them traveling a lot. Many of the does are covered. The NE deer are in between cycles right now. Bucks are solitary and out sleeping. Funny.

The more I look at him, the more I like him... didn't really notice the mass till just now...

There was a buck that wintered near Wenatchee for a lot of years that was a really wide 3 and about the 4th or 5th winter I watched him he had grown a 4th point. That buck ended up pushing 40" in his prime.

Here is a pic I still have on photobucket that they resized when they changed their site around years ago. Kind of tough to tell in that pic but you can get an idea of how wide he was.

On the actual outside of the flares you might be real close. Just a great series. I admire the incredible investment in time and money to get these types of shots.

What's truly amazing about this deer is the fact that he is most likely sporting a true 30" spread. By that I mean a true 30" inside spread on the main beams which is how he would be measured for B&C. A lot of the 30+ deer you see are called that because they have flares or some non-typical points that will get them out there on an OUTSIDE spread measurement. If you captured this photo, congratulations, a stellar achievement and trophy all by its self.
Title: Re: "30 3" (spread update)
Post by: boneaddict on November 27, 2010, 09:57:51 PM: I bet he is almost 30 inside. Probably a rarity where the main was the limitiing factor on spread credit.

Title: Re: "30 3" (spread update)
Post by: bow4elk on December 01, 2010, 11:56:07 PM: He'll go 30" if he's 24" tip to tip on his ears. His G4's flare all the way out and that's where you get the outside spread measurement. Love that rack. The CDOW has a typical 3x3 that makes B&C in the main office. Ever since I saw that mount I've wanted a huge 3. Still do. Maybe someday...
