RE: Drop Tines
On my farm we have only killed one buck with a droptine (it had 3) and only seen one other. It seems that we do however usually kill one buck every year that has split brow tines.
Also the last 2 years we have killed two 12 pointers that had a kicker coming out from the base in the exact same spot, about the same size.

and why is the end of the dropper always black/brown kinda looks like pine tarr? or is that just velvet?

I've personally held a few racks at my taxidermist's place with droptines on them... it's dried velvet that the buck wasn't able to get off.
