How common are droptines?
Who has had the oppotunity to take 1 of these deer home? I have yet to see 1, so exactly how common are they? It's not genetics, but damage to an antler that causes this right?

The drop tine is caused from genetics.

Thats just what the hunting shows say.

I have never been fortunate enough to see to one in person and I have been hunting since I was 11 and that is 23 years of deer hunting. So I would say from my experience they are not very common.
I have no idea what causes them.

quite rare, certainly genetics, and age/nutrition, many of these 2.5yo bucks and younger maybe have them in their potential, but they never make it.
Also ive seen alot of guy's "droptines" 1 inch drop, or a number of the bottom isn't a drop to me, so real drops even more rare in my view.
Cousin found a shed with 3 monster drops on 1 side, years ago, boy is that awesome to see.
Really if we let those young ones grow up we'd see many more, but by areas etc..genetics I think you'll find higher density zones for drops...
