Honestly can't tell.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

It looks like a split G3 coming out at a weird angle. Hard to tell, but that's my guess.

Split G3 but tough to tell. Give him another year and see what happens.

Cool video, wish it was longer cause I could watch that buck for an hour before blinking.

I would say split G3, but I can definitely see in the video where someone could see a double beam. He is certainly big and old enough, so shoot him this season and let us know the answer.

I honestly think it is a double beam. If you look at the photo it looks like the beam splits close to the base of the G2 maybe a little before it.

If it isn't a split g3, I would call it drop point at its present location. I always consider a double main beam as one coming off the base or close to the g1. Like this one
