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?

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.

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

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!
