Drop Tine Axis

Drop Tine Axis - 06/18/15 08:56 PM

Scored on this non typical buck last Friday evening before we could even get set up for our first hunt.
He was up feeding early under a large Oak tree and at first all the extra points just seemed like velvet
hanging until we confirmed he had double drops with a few extra kickers. He had broken off his main beams
which was the only down side but my hunter just couldn't pass him up. He will still look cool on the wall.

Buck was free range.

Joe,
We get quite a few bucks with kickers and or stickers and I have seen a drop tine buck here and there on rare occasions but nothing this
dramatic. The buck did have an old wound near his genitals and one in his neck so I am assuming that had to do something with the crazy points
growing. We could tell he was an old buck and after looking at his teeth they were about gone so I don't think he would have been around again
next summer. So all in all a great harvest.
