          He is 33" - 34". Good looking axis.

            My photoshop (paint) skills are horrible, but here's yours, side by side with the 38"er that Drake killed, for comparison.

                I agree with Taxi. I say 39-40 inches though. Very nice and wide, which adds inches.

                  This one is right at 34" and I would say yours is at least some bigger compared to how this one looked on his feet.

                      Compare these two and look closely at the distance between the base and cottle, and the cottle to tip - I still stick by my 34ish guess - you've got a couple inches more in the 38 base to cottle, and not much if any more cottle to tip.

                        I think some of you are confused ... my guess is 33-34.
                        It's a GOOD axis, but it's not going to make 38.

                          Same story with this one - he's a touch shorter cottle to tip, and touch longer base to cottle. He also picks up a bit with the little 'bounce' out at the cottle.

                          You'd be surprised how much they can pick up by the back sweep too - can't tell how much this buck has by the picture.

                          My typical field scoring is take what my gut first says, and subtract 2" - First looking at the photo I thought 36"

                            Taxi, wasn't arguing with you, just trying to show how I field score axis. Most look a touch bigger than they are, but the biggest IMO are typically surprises - may not be that wide, or look that much different from the front. I saw a 42" at woodburys a long time ago that (while he looked awesome) didn't look all that much more impressive than a 35x35 curved horn - he just rocked way back & bounced way out at the cottle.
