Since the buck has only one ear out, I can only use boneaddict's math to find the width of one side of the antlers.  Using his math I get 106.25 units from the center of the head to the outside of the ear.  Similarly, I get 156.25 units from the center of the head to the outside of the furthest antler.

Therefore:

11 inches= 106.25X
X = .103529411........

156.25X = 16.18 inches

Assuming the buck is symmetrical and that I correctly judged the center of the head we have a 32"+ buck!  That's a big buck!

Great photos.  Is that one of your group on top of that rock?  I love the elk in the meadow picture.

Great pics.  I've got a fourth season Colorado deer tag and I cant wait.  I'd say that buck is between 30" to 32".

No it's not one of my group on top of the Flat Iron, just a guy we saw climbing it.
