Title: dropper
Post by: boneaddict on November 27, 2017, 04:05:39 PM: I filmed 2 different two points with droppers this fall. Here is the little one. The other is Mr. September. His rack was cool and I got really close shots of him. This guy didnt want me within 500 yards of him.

Definitely rare, but they are out there. I have seen pictures of one that was taken this year.

I saw a muley in Idaho with a drop on one side this year. Real nice buck, I thought he was a bull when I first saw his rack coming through the brush. That's the only one that I've seen in my life.

Post by: boneaddict on November 28, 2017, 06:53:49 AM: I think out of all the sheds I have, I have two that have true droppers and out of all the bucks I’ve killed, I thought I had one. That turned out to be a point damaged in velvet and bent down. They considered it a point, not a dropper
Title: Re: dropper
Post by: boneaddict on November 28, 2017, 06:55:34 AM: I did get pics of a buck with a foot long corkscrew dropper. This fall. I haven’t posted him yet. He was a cal buck until he got bumped

I feel like I remember that buck/thread. Montana? Dig a pic up for us.

Mine is a weird one as well. Mine kind or originates above the main beam, but then drops... I’m not sure if it qualifies as a drop or not. I think it must completely originate from the main beam?

Here is mine, and I guess even if it was a dropper, he isn’t from WA

Blurry pic, but it’s all I have access to at the moment.

Post by: jjhunter on November 28, 2017, 07:51:42 AM: I've only seen two with substantial droppers while hunting. They were both big, mature deer. I'm killing the next one that I see. I attained a trail cam picture of the buck I passed last year. He was hard horned when I had my encounter. It was a tense couple of minutes sizing him up and trying to make a go - no go decision. :chuckle:

Title: Re: dropper
Post by: JWBINX on December 01, 2017, 08:48:57 PM: Never did score him, His outside spreads farthest point is from drop tine to drop tine right at 24". He is about 15" tall
from bases, boy I could really exaggerate if I went from the bottom of one of the droppers :bdid: He is unusual enough
that I never felt like scoring him.

Lol, are you sure you want to go there? This thread may quickly devolve into a discussion about the distance to Portland and or the smell test. 😀

Post by: Dan-o on November 11, 2018, 06:44:59 PM: It's not fair to enter that buck in the "dropper" thread.

You should have to start a new thread for bucks with droppers, stickers, bladed points, deeeeep forks, crazy mass and over 30".
