Opinions please?

I don't care about score, so I'm not interested in that.

My question is that, with this guy's body size, do you think he has reached maximum size rack-wise?

Here's another view.

I'm assuming the date on the camera is incorrect...when we're the pictures taken?

Yes.
It's possible he might grow some more abnormal points,
should he live another year.
But I doubt there will be much change next year in his antlers,
which might "score" less rather than more.

I know you stated you didn't care about "score",
but not uncommon for an older buck to gain overall mass (one year to the next)
become overall more "impressive" (antlers displacing more air),
but with shorter tines, "scoring" less than the year before.

Didn't even notice that. Yes it was within the last week.

Then I agree with LBL that he is fully mature and next year will be on the downhill slide with antler growth. Just a big old mature buck...good luck with him if you choose to pursue!

fully mature, I would not expect him to add any significant inches next year.

Agree with all of the above
