Found this buck in Wyoming a few years back. Never did hunt him. This is mid-July video, so I wonder how the droptine finished out.

My grandpa’s droptine buck that he killed long ago. I took this picture many years ago before he past away. The buck is 32” wide with a 13” droptine. The rake is a treasure in our family because of the memories it bring of my grandpa. A friend of his borrowed the rake after the hunt and won a rifle at one of the sporting good store contests. My grandpa never found that out until may years later. Not to may people messed with my grandpa back in his prime. I will likely never see a buck like this in my lifetime. Hope you enjoy.

A ghost from a few years back...

Pinetree · Dec 17, 2020

My brother found this sweet droptine deer shed back in 2016. The buck was well known for the area, everyone we talked to about it couldn't believe the shed laid on the ground for over a year!

ridgetops · Dec 17, 2020

Here's my best dropetine shed

ridgetops · Dec 17, 2020

Here's a few that I've chased but just couldn't catch up to in the past few years.

My droptine Buck I killed in Idaho in 1990.
I wasn’t very good at taking Killshot pics back then.

Sallaberry · Dec 17, 2020

Tried to acquire this buck from a coustmer

JakeH · Dec 17, 2020

This is ol' curley. Pretty cool old buck.

JakeH · Dec 17, 2020

One of the biggest bucks i have personally ever seen.

NVPete · Dec 17, 2020

Does this one count as "drop tine"? He has a "drop antler" on the right side!

NECALI · Dec 18, 2020

Now that’s weird. Never seen anything like that before.

hawkbill · Dec 19, 2020

26 years ago Colorado, he had one drop horn on one side and three drops togeather on the other but broke off the three side during rut. My wife also killed a Buck with a small drop tine and another photo of a buck I have with a dropper.

264mag · Dec 19, 2020

Wyoming

264mag · Dec 19, 2020

South Dakota, not much for a drop tine but a hook

Sherlock · Dec 21, 2020

My brother got this one. UT general archery on highly pressured public land. Chased it for 3 years and was haunted each unsuccessful year, figuring that someone would get it on one of the gun hunts or poach it on the winter range. Finally got it. Decent droppers.

boomer · Dec 21, 2020

A few that I've run into over the past few years.

Does this one count? Not sure that's a droptine.

I've heard a rumor that this one could be dead...

ridgetops · Dec 21, 2020

I think this is my most favorite droptine buck I've ever seen. To bad it was poached.

JDElec · Dec 23, 2020

This is a buck I hunted this year. He lived through my season I know he lived through the 2nd rifle season as well. So hopefully next year he’s still roaming.

Yep, those two were pretty famous for a couple years but both are dead now.

StickFlicker · Dec 25, 2020

This is a double drop tine buck that I considered hunting this year, but I decided to hunt a different buck instead. This one was eventually taken by a bowhunter midway through the season.

COLO3D · Dec 28, 2020

Here is a buck from 13 years ago. Still one

of my favorites.

Tikka · Dec 28, 2020

Here's one we chased for a couple years... My boy missed him twice with a smokepole (Dad screwed up the the yardage)...
Two weeks later a rifle hunter killed him...

Boy HIcountryman, he was pretty skinny at that point... Did he make through that winter?

HIcountryman · Dec 29, 2020

Saw him a couple days after these pics, he had shed left side. Hanging on private.

I hunted private land in his home turf the year after. Saw and passed on MANY bucks over about 15 or more days of hunting, hoping to see him. Never saw him.

Cold AC · Dec 29, 2020

HORRIBLE picture... But here is a drop tine buck I saw
a few years ago

Wife's buck from cali 2020

nontypical · Jan 1, 2021

Here's a couple more...

Shedz · Jan 1, 2021

The only shed I've ever found with a drop tine. My friend found the bucks left side about 10 years before I found the right side. He was a double dropper but broke off the left side drop.

Brute · Jan 2, 2021

Buck Norris from March 2014. He shed the other side the night before.

Founder · Jan 4, 2021

Here's a droptine buck that my sweet, late wife took in 2009. She was a tough girl. Was dealing with stage 4 cancer, was in pain and not feeling very strong, but stuck with it and was able to shoot this buck late in the hunt. I sure miss her.

Wantabee · Jan 6, 2021

Maybe only a 2 pt frame but does have a nice drop on one side and a small on the other, plus a bunch of "stuff".

Founder · Jan 6, 2021

Here's a droptine shed that my son found in 2016. It's still his best shed found. It's a big one.

pymulies · Jan 6, 2021

Founder, do you remember the guy from Canada, that had some huge sheds off a palmated droptine buck like the sheds above, and he then ended up killing said buck a couple years later? The sheds had been chewed pretty bad. This had to have been early 2000's. Those sheds above sure brought back those sheds from years ago. I don't remember his name but I sure as heck remember that deer. If you could, we should find those pictures in the archives.
