Nope not even close. Closer to 12" than 13" IMO.

Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different.
Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Nope. He is close. I would not shoot him. I have seen many like that this year. Not worth the risk.

Not to hijack this thread, but as a new hunter where would you measure this deer to see if he makes AR?

Unfortunately I don't think he would make AR and I would be very, very happy with a buck like that if I took it with my bow. We have the same situation with some bucks inside of our HF.

His ears are out, and his antlers are not outside of them.
He's the classic drawing of the "Illegal Deer" in the outdoor annual on the Antler Restrictions.
Let him live.

Not to hijack this thread, but as a new hunter where would you measure this deer to see if he makes AR? From the inside of one main beam to the inside of the other main beam. The ears are a good reference. If his inside spread is right at his ears, then he's right around 13". Check TPWD's website for details.

You will know for sure when you see him up close and personal. He looks like a big deer. So who is to say the ears aren't 16" wide. I've got a deer on my wall with the ears in the alert position and his are 16 1/2 inches.
But looking at the mass he has, IMO, he's wider than 13.

He is wider than 13". He looks mature and I would shoot him. This is the problem with AR and a problem I am glad I don't have in the county I hunt in.
How come everybody I meet is a deer hunting expert?
