How wide - Follow up

[rtp]

I'll stick with my original guess of 18"ish.

A hill country deers ears are generally around 14 wide flat out. This bucks antlers goes up and out so If you shoot him thinking 19 + inches you will be disappointed due to ground shrinkage. I am with Bowhuntertex (who lives in the hill country) and say he is 17 - 17.5.

(I live in the Hill Country too) haha

He may be 18, but I am betting no wider and I still say 17.5". I hunt all over the hill country including the around canyon lake. He is still a dang good deer and will look good on the ground.

Hopefully get him on the ground an measure him. Have some other deer that will score better but I am a sucker for the wide ones.

17 1/2"

That. ^^^^^ Hill Country Buck. Their tip to tip on there ears aint much. The one i killed last year looked 21" on the cam. He was so far past his ears. He was 17". He'll go about 118.

Ive hunted Gillespie County since 2000. I measured a pile of buck tip to tip ear spread. It averages about 12.5-13 inches.
