Pat, I measured it today. I drew an imaginary line straight forward from the right side of the spike and measured to the inside of the widest part of the right main beam. 10.5" is what I got.

Question for you. If that spike was only 1" or 2" long would that be a legal deer in Texas?


The one you took is legal if one side unbranched regardless of length or width
