Kind of a rarity.

Not big as in 130's or under P/Y size? I'd have to see it to answer :lol:


OK, what about this size double droptine?

A buck will see you three times, and hear you twice, but he's only gonna smell you once.

No way. He's just a baby. I'd like to see him in 2-3 years because I bet he would carry those drops with his genetics.

Some people might not care that it's young, just the fact that it was a double drop.

I was hoping to see this one again, never did though.

My answer is yes ! I love Character !! Those look great on the wall and it's not that often that one wanders by offering a shot. If it's a freak or unique I'm launching on it !

That is the thing I would love to pass and see what it would look like next year but I think I would shoot. On the properties I hunt there is a good chance something could happen to him before next season.

I would let each of them go, but would hope to run into the freak again in a season or two. It's a cool buck no doubt but not enough to to use my tag on.

Yes on yours, not because it's a freak, because it's a good buck!
