To add to what the others have said,
Spread is really only about scoreing a deer, not about aging one.
There are 3 types of spread:
Tip to Tip Spread
Greatest Spread
Inside Spread of Main Beams
Only the Inside Spread of Main Beams is actually counted in scoring a buck. And even then according to Boone and Crocket rules it is weighed against the longest length of the main beams.
"Inside Spread of Main Beams is measured at a right angle to the center line of the skull at widest point between main beams. Enter this measurement again as the Spread Credit if it is less than or equal to the length of the longer antler; if greater, enter longer antler length for Spread Credit."
