I agree with wawhitey, but think Elknut is close to be numerically on.

[Elkduds]

Thanks for the input. I was thinking something over 150. Not sure if this is evident from the pic, his rack is 4x4 w top tine of R lower fork broken off. Rack is exceptionally tall on this big-bodied buck. I have seen this same buck in the 'hood for the last 3 years, he is @ least 5 years old.

He's a dandy for certain; crazy tall rack. What is that behind the buck, behind the fence? Looks to be a standing bear sculpture covered in a hide?

[Elkduds]

That is a tree stump in neighbors back yard. It has a carved bear head on top, and the flat platform is for bird house or squirrel feeder. This is an old residential neighborhood on the south side of CO Springs, houses 40 feet apart, miles from open space. We have deer almost daily, and bears in the trash when they are not hibernating. The famous Youtube video of the bear moving dumpsters @ a restaurant last summer was taken a quarter mile from my house. Very urban.

I would guess 155 to 165 but he is certainly a skyscraper buck!
