so my question is, why do mule deer hunters talk so much about outside spread when inside spread is what gets counted in scoring?
is it not possible for a buck to hit the coveted 30" mark for outside spread but be < 25" inside?
also, isn't the true number 180"? my dad has a buck my grandpa shot back in the 60's. It is right around 180" but only has an 18" inside spread. Wouldn't a mule deer hunter be happier with a 180" narrow buck than a 160" buck that is 30" outside?
