Single or double drop tine?

[SaskHunter]

I was watching one of the latest GoHunt Youtube video "Office Dilemma Droptine?" and it got me thinking about the whitetail I shot in 2017. I've always considered it as a double drop tine buck and 99.99% of my buddies agreed. That being said, after watching the video with @Big Fin saying the buck in the video didn't have a drop tine, it got me worried that I'd been wrong this whole time.

The court of hunters' opinion is now in session; single double or no drop tine at all?

Pictures for reference, the first drop tine is on the main beam between the G2 and G3, and the second sits half-way up the G2.

Single imo, bottom tine seems to come off the main beam. That's just my opinion as I have no idea how there actually counted. That's just what I'd call it. Awesome buck either way.

Both are kickers!

None, but I wouldn't get too broke up about it. Very nice buck.

Double all day long in pa.
very nice congrats.

 

[elkantlers]

1 drop
1 kicker
I'd shoot in 1/2 second and then figure it out.

My gut says both are kickers, but I could be persuaded on the lower one. Sweet buck regardless.

I saw the vid and definitely thought Lorenzo’s buck was a kicker, not a drop.

I think his is a drop tine all day everyday!

I think most people think of drop tines as tear shaped tines that drop directly downward, but they aren't.

I'm not, still my best whitetail to date, drop tine(s) or not.

I think the one on the main beam os definitely a drop tine. It's off the main beam and drops in a downward angle.

I don’t think they need to be tear dropped at all, I just think they need to point downward. Lorenzo’s is almost perfectly level.

No matter...most of us haven't had a crack at a buck like that, call it what you want. Drop/ sticker. Drop/ drop.

 

[brownbear932008]

First off gosh what a buck! The one coming off main beam to me is a drop. A kicker originates off a tine imo.

 

[VOLhunter]

Double Drop! Just because it sounds cooler to say. Great buck no matter what you call it!

 

[JT88]

Stud buck. Giant whitetails and beautiful aspen groves. Gotta love it

 

[ashersdad]

I say double but regardless, that buck is a stud!!

 

[SG25]

IMO I would say drop and a kicker but either way that’s a freaking stud!
