    Not sure why but for some reason 2015 has blessed us with several drop tine bucks this year. I knew we had the trait in the local genetics as I have one on the wall from a few years ago but it was pretty much a one and done deal. So far this year I have four on camera. Unfortunately one I can't show but here are the other three:

    This one is a little guy and a little drop but it still counts in my book.

    Lots of character. Good looking bunch of bucks. Hoping to see you up close with one of them this year.

    The first one may go on a hit list for MO but the other two are too young I think. The first one is 4.5 this year and I generally will only add deer at 5.5 but I may make an exception for him since he's on my personal property considering neighbors. Kinda have my MO buck tag reserved for another buck that should be prime this year but I have not seen him yet this summer.

    My top buck I'm after is the fourth drop tine buck (not pictured), if I get a shot at him...pics will follow shortly. :lol:

    Got to like seeing the drop tines! The buck in the July pictures could turn into something special with another year or two. Awesome looking buck.

    Very cool. We have found shed of a drop tine buck in our woods the last two years but we've never got pictures or laid eyes on him.

    Very nice, I agree the bottom 2 need a couple years and then they will be slammers.

    I've always wanted to kill or photograph a drop-tine buck. Those look great. Hope you get a chance at one of them.

    Blessings.........Pastorjim
