Jon,

That is one outstanding buck!  I've always wanted to see a droptine buck.  Having the Cuddeback pic is pretty cool too.

Two or four drops matters not, that is one fine buck. Congrats!
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
