You're on to something there, Crokit. After looking at the videos, he's got something going on. Tumor maybe? He seems to act just like the any other deer. The third pic is just for comparison.

how do would u measure the spread on something like that...

Anybody know when you stop measuring the spread? Do you stop when the antler drops below horizontal to the skull?

I'm pretty sure the SCORABLE width cannot excede the length of the longest main beam.This one would be quite a challenge, however, IMHO

RE: Do you call this a "Drop Antler?"

If you look at the first picture. It looks to me like the antler is hanging by its skull skin. The white beside/below the ear looks like skin pulled back to me.
