I would say 16-17 inches... 18 tops... You can see he has short main beams, it takes impressive main beams to achieve a 25+ inch inside spread
I say it is the angle of the ear and the angle of the photo compounding making it appear larger than it is.....

I want to retract my answer. After analyzing how the flash is refracting off of his main beam, I've got to say I think his other side is out past his ear at least 3 times farther than it is on the visible side. I'd have to say that thing is closer to 4 feet wide. Let 'em grow and you'll have yourself a dandy.

I see what your saying, but you have forgotten to take into account that that deer is only probably 5 1/2-6 years old. When a deer is still in it's nymphyl stages it's only about 2/3 the size of an adult. So when we take that into account we can conclude that the deer's body is at most 3 feet long nose to tail, which when we fuigure up the math, and calculated the earth's rotation like was previously mentioned, we get exactly 4 feet 1 and 3/8 inches. Still an impressive spread by any account, but with another 5-6 years like I said earlier, he will be a monster.
