I have one hanging on my wall from a 1988 bow kill. But the droptine was approximately only about 3" to 4" long before the buck broke it off. Still, it has 1 1/2" showing, not big but it still counts.

Nope, unless you count that 11pt I took a couple years back...the 10th and 11th points were about an 1" kickers off the bases.

Sort of, if this counts. I saw a buck once(actually passed up shooting it) that had a fork on one side, and the other was a spike, with a kicker pointed to the front, and a drop tine that came down past his face to the bottom of his jaw. It was a really small bodied deer as well, that we nick named " crack baby"

I saw a small buck in velvet last year turkey hunting it had one side that was normal and the other side half of the antler was wrapping around the side of its face. Hard to explain but it was cool.

our neighbors that own the land next to our 750 acre tract are notorius for shooting deer and doing a crappy track job. Two years ago, we found a 13 point 175 typical dead from bow season. Anyway, getting to the point. 3 years ago, I smelled something really dead. So i followed the stink up the logging road a bit and came upon a 2.5 or 3.5 year old buck, a mainframe 10, maybe about 120 class, with a 2.5 droptine off his left main beam. only drop tine i' ve ever seen in the wild.

I saw this Big Boy once in the woods now I see him everyday in my house. Only 25 days left. Seems like an eternity.
