Drop tine

Took my dad to sask. canada on a guided hunt trip. He seen a drop tine buck but didn't get a shot at him. The guides hadn't even seen this deer and this is free range hunting. We had plans to go back the following year and all summer long that drop tine buck is all dad talked about. The following year he hunted three days and killed him! He didn't even know it at the time. They came to camp with the deer and my other buddy said boy your daddy done killed a monster go look at him. I walked out and was looking at him and spotted a white spot on his main beam. I said dad this deer had a drop tine. He agreed and said I bet it broke off when he fell. He went back the next day and found the broken off drop tine. The deer will score over 160 as a main frame 8 point with a 5-6 inch drop tine.

I have the opinion that they share the same antler formation & characteristics year to year, but nothing is written in stone/hard horn.
