Ive got some pics of a really good drop tine buck that I have pics of over three years, the last pics i have of him he had suddenly grown a 6 or 7 inch drop off his right beam, his first year with the drop tine he was at least 5 or 6 years old. i got the drop tine pics year before last and havent ever seen him again, and havent ever heard of anyone killing him, hope hes still around.
