He still has a drop on the right side.
I could be a year young because he was still in velvet when i was trying to age him....... He lacked a lot of body mass but it could have been from his foot preventing him from traveling and packing on the pounds
Illinois, but i posted it on this website because everyone in iowa is used to giants...........
The points on his left side are not drops, they are just on the inside of his beam and when he bends down you can see them better. He only has one drop tine and its shorter in 2012 than it was in 2011
That means a lot coming from you guys!

I'm certainly no big buck expert, but I wouldn't lose an ounce of sleep over how much different he is this year from last year. Most guys spend a lifetime just trying to get a chance at a buck of that caliber. Like others have said, I wouldn't worry about the score. He's an awesome buck and you have a history with him, which, IMHO, makes him the ultimate trophy! Good luck!

Well that makes sense then...
I didn't get to see the pics either, but good luck with him.
I read the other thread too and have a suggestion for you.......I read in the other thread that you're hoping to get the story in NA Whitetail and I hope you get the buck and some great photos so you can do just that. I've read several columns from editors of mags that said they turned down submissions for stories because they had already been told on internet forums. I understand their point....if they're going to pay money and put stories and pics in their mags (which they make money off of from sales, advertising, etc) they figure that they should have a level of 'exclusivity' to the story, pics, etc.
So I guess what I'm saying is that if I were you, if I were fortunate enough to harvest this deer and you really want to have the story in a mag, I would hold off on putting the rest of the story, pics ect on any forum. JMO, do with it what you'd like.
With that said, I would really like to see the story & pics here, but I subscribe to NAWT, so hopefully I'll get to see it there.
Good luck!
