Default Opinions of possible third beam

The first pic is one I just recovered over the weekend and the other three are for reference. The second is within the same 3-shot sequence of the first. At first glance it looks like a third beam sticking out the side of head. The more I look at it, the more I think the angle of his head and ear are fooling my eyes, but then I go right back to thinking it's a third beam. So.....

I thought I would ask the experts for their opinion. I do plan on placing another camera near-by to get a better inventory of that area. Our other cameras are not very productive but there is fresh water near this field.

I look forward to hearing what you think.
Thanks.

Definately a third beam. A great buck as well.

Triple main beam bucks are an oddity but Ive seen quite a few, in fact my first trail cam pic was a triple main beam buck. Never killed one but it'd be awesome!

If you save the picture of the buck to your "Pictures", then do a "Zoom", it appears to be a third beam. Thanks for sharing.
