How wide is this buck?

How wide is this buck? Hopefully I’ll know by the end of the weekend.

I know he’s huge bodied compared to the other deer and super heavy and bladed out, defiantly a shooter 3 point.

What do you think? If you like him, take him. If not, let him go. Simple

I think he’s over 30” inside. If he’s still in the same spot this weekend when the season opens I’ll try my best to run an arrow though him. He’s super heavy too with a huge body, I have a 3 with a 24” inside spread and it isn’t even comparable to this buck. He looks like a moose when he’s waking away with the light hitting his antlers, I wish the weather was better for glassing, I turned him up at 1 this afternoon in a bedding area.

Hard to tell with the pictures not being teal clear but I'd say 28+

Don’t think he makes 30” even outside.
Kill him and let us know

He is IMO def over 30", I would guess 31-33" wide.

31” and too smart to be killed with a bow

Well hopefully you’re wrong. I’ve put on lots of stalks in that same spot but have never connected. It’s super steep and lots of cliffs bands to maneuver around.
He was bedded 2/3 of the way into the bottom of the canyon too and went out the bottom which makes it even tougher.
It’s supposed to be 95 opening day which should keep them bedded longer which will help.

This is the last buck I blew a stalk on in there which was back in 2016.
