For Whitetail (and mule deer) this is part of the total score for the B&C record books.
The outside (or furthest spread) is sometimes measured, but usually does not mean much for its score.
For myself when I am hunting, I am looking for something that has a good inside spread.

Hi toxic,
Thanks for the reply.
Is the spread used solely for B&C score purposes, or does it mean anything particular about the buck?
Is there some significance as it relates to the deer itself or is it just something the hunters use as a way of telling how big/heavy etc. the deer is? Does a wider spread mean a better buck?
