Looks like an old codger . Nice pic
wonder what’s over the next hill?
Take away the antlers and it even looks like an old dog.
Any more info on the old boy?

Nice buck. I didn't notice the drop tine at first or second glance. I see 4 points on his left side, but would you agree that it presents more as a 3 point with a kicker? Nice big bases too.

Nice Character rack with that Drop Tine ! RJ

I see that as well. But when talking about frame dynamics, or scoring, some Bucks have a genetic that shows one or both sides as either being a 3 point framed antler or a 4 point framed antler. 3 point rack muleys can grow scoreable/countable points and/or kickers beyond their genetic 3 point frame, but will never develop a true fork, if you know what I mean. It's hard to tell from the photo what kind of frame the right antler (the one with the drop tine) is, but I am going to say it is 4 point frame with a drop tine kicker, making it 5 points. The left side is a 3 point frame with a bonus (or abnormal) 4th point off the G2. In other words, this deer has a 4x3 framed rack with 2 extra abnormal points making it a 5x4. Clear as mud?
