    Typically a mid 150's Buck in my area is 15" IS there usually tall, massive and tight. My son did kill a 160's Buck last year with IS over 18" and we found one dead the year we had EHD that was 19" IS

    Personally saw a buck with a 25 3/8" spread. My personal best is a 22" spread.

    19" is the biggest I've seen in the field I believe.

    Trail cams on the other hand...

    I've seen one in my life that was probably close to 2' wide. Not thick or tall, but real wide. Biggest personal harvest is 18" wide.
