I just measured the width between the bases of the antlers on a skull mount of mine. Comes out to right at 2 inches. You put the ruler to the screen and do the math, that comes out to about 23 inch inside spread. I know it not perfect, but that deer could have very well been 26 inside. Bases, I have no way to judge that.

They are still there, been several monsters shot there over last few years.

Ill lease your place, pm me

I measured a buck this weekend that had 6" base one side 5 3/4 on the other, and also measure several from Oklahoma with 6"-8".

The buck in the picture looks monster like because of the way the antlers are being push to the camera, guy holds them closer and it looks a lot smaller

Oh for what its worth I killed a deer with 9.5 and 9.25 bases this year so yall play nice

or it did not happen

I get a 17" spread and 4.75" bases.

I'm waiting for someone to put money on it.

This is a perfect example of why I will NEVER EVER post bucks and even insinuate that I know his measurements. Or his age. 99% of the time I won't mention the distance of the shot but this year I laser measured it at 7 yards.

I understand this concept that's why I said the phrase " given that he is holding it up to the camera". The picture I posted does make it look bigger than it actually is but what I was trying to get at was the comparison between the two. This was shot up north, aka bigger skull making the bases more apparent, and when you compare it to the other deer it is without question a bigger rack even with being held to the camera is taking into consideration. The width is up in the air, I don't believe he's any bit of 26' but I would put money that deer does not have 7 inch bases. It's kinda like when you got caught in the cookie jar as a kid but refuse to admit to guilt despite being caught red handed.

Stags don't count...

you guys kill me, I have not seen this much drama since fb, I like to lurk here for the deer photos but this thread proves that yall are like a bunch of women, get a life guys

Yes they do why I said " deer"

This one might go ten

Both of them aren't going to measure that much. You are measuring at the burr not at the smallest point between the burr and next point or this case midway point to end of mainbeams.

That must be one of those cape buffalo/whitetail crosses.

Really....

IT'S ON THE INTERNET, MUST BE TRUE!!!!

Yard stick may not be long enough

We don't have time for you to measure 26 times either!

[quote=BMD]Cool find but 7" bases


C'mon man.


What kind of man drinks "propel"??

I would myself never question the man but I see why they may,he say's they are 26'' then they are 26'' but this one I got this year is 19 7/8'' and 4 3/8'' bases

SCOREBOARD!!!!

i greatly enjoy the texas hunting forum, but some of ya'll just make it suck.

I sure hope it is not my remarks that ruined the forums for you sir, As I stated in my post I would not question the mans integrity and if he says it 26''it is 26'' I put the pic up so as it is easy to understand the questions posed, not that I in anyway argue the size of the OP deer pic my deer looks bigger than 19 7/8'' but its not,his looks smaller than 26'' pics do a lot of things to confuse people.Thanks Adam

not you sir. and that is a killer buck!
