[QUOTE="jmbn, post: 6131, member: 1318"] I sometimes collect back-to-brisket measurements on animals to aid in judging distances thru the reticules on my scopes. All deer are western count and do not include brow tines. Note that Southern mule deer are in Southern CA and are about exactly the saze of blacktails. 14" 2 pt southern mulie. 12" 3 pt Arizona whitetail. 12" spike AZ whitetail. 13" 3 pt AZ whitetail 12" spike AZ whitetail 15" 3 pt blacktail 16 1/2" 3 pt Colorado mulie 14" blacktail 2 pt. 15 1/2 3pt blacktail. 21" spike CO elk. 24" 5 pt CO elk. 25" 6 pt AZ elk 15" 2 pt CO mulie. 14 1/2 2 pt blacktail 17" 4 pt blacktail 16" 4 pt blacktail 15" 2 pt blacktail. 16" 3 pt AZ whitetail (this is my bragging deer) 17 1/8 outside spread, and I'm waiting for the #&%* taxidermist so he can go on the wall) Javelina measured from 10 to 11"; most were 10 to 10 1/2. I also measured my friend Star, an approx. 1000 lb. horse, and he measured 28" (and was kind of nervous about the operation). According to an old Jack O'Conner book, antelope measure 15-16"; a mature RM elk is 24", a big mule deer is 18 (couldn't prove it by me); a bighorn sheep or a goat is 20 to 22; and a mature moose is 34-40. I carried a tailer's tape with me for years, but usually forget it now. I've seen several Roosevelt elk that I'm sure were way over 24" but didn't have my tape with me. jmbn [/QUOTE]
