    A tine must be longer than it is wide...tough to judge from pics but these guys are all right. it may very well be legal from what the pic shows ....but almost too close to risk it! I'd bet money on legal but tough call in the heat of the moment.

    Didn't grow much since last year did he.
    No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.

    It has a fork on the one side the third tine is too short to count, so if one side has a spike or fork, Bango!
    Jello --- A tine has to be over an inch, if you measure from base or center of main woody make a difference but as close as dam is tah swearin -- No C. O. woody nail you

    Hard enough to tell close up....what do you do when it’s 100 yards away amd moving through willows?....That’s why I only hunt in ‘any bull’ areas or with an LEH....

    It's 100% legal and although judging in the field is much harder that's clearly not a point.

    The problem is it comes down to what a CO is going to call it...you get a CO that is a hunter and understands the challenge of determining what is legal and what isn,t vs somebody who only got his experaince out of a book...but I really wonder how many ‘legal’ immatures are left for the Wolves once the hunter walks up and realizes it might not be legal...

    If it isn't a legal animal I'd hope a CO would understand why a hunter would shoot it and be reasonable in determining consequences.

    We're talking about a very slight margin of error in a situation that has lots of variables.

    I'd shoot it.
