Not a deer-guess would be a stag.

Elk or stag. How big is it?

That there is an elk. I don't know how much of a market there is for it. I would have it scored or score it yourself. If it isn't "record book" size then it really won't go for much.

Here is a guide if you want to score it yourself.

Not a Deer Rack.....Most likely an Elk Rack...Probably gonna cost more to ship than they are worth............

It is an elk rack and in what way are you needing help with??

He Dog

European red stag, a European subspecies of elk. The terminal crown of three tines is diagnostic of the European red stag. The mount of skull cap and antlers is also a European style, though usually the skull is complete except the mandible. The slotted screws holding on the plaque make it look like a home mount. It probably has more value sold as elk antler by weight than as a mount. Sorry, thay are a nice looking rack.

looks like Roosevelt elk to me.

Thanks again

HeDog hit that one right on the button again....
Red Deer it is, or Red Stag same thing....
Lots of them in the states on Game Preserves...
No Elk has crown points like that.......
