Ill look for the pictures to scan and post on here, I killed a buck back in 93' and his horns looked like they grew from the sides of his head. And he too had very droopy ears. Trust me he was an un altered 110 inch 10 point!

Pretty normal actually for the ears to droop. This very argument was brought up years ago on the subject and was quickly disproved, with piles of pics of dead bucks with the exact same droopy/flop ears, pretty common!

Yes I have seen this alot but have only killed 1 buck that looked like Mitch's deer. The bases were a little lower than normal. Nature is Nature. She works in mysterious ways.

Actually, you can change the number of posts per page, so it might be different on other peoples. The thread only has 13 pages total when I look at it.

as a taxidermist, I don't have any argument as to whether or not the antlers are real or not, the only question I have is: Why do most of his pictures show flop eared deer that look as if the hides have been Y split (as if to start caping)....I have caped probably over 1000 whitetails, and the only way to make ears look like that is split them from the skull...His giant looks like that, and several of the deer in his personal pics look like that... A dead deers ear sticks straight out, not hanging down, every single one... so why does one man have so many dead Flop-Eared deer??? This is definitely BS, if you look you can find many many pics of big bucks killed with the ears flopped down, this wont hold water.
find me a pic and post it of a dead deer with its ear draped all the way against the neck like the deers right ear in the pic...
Also like to point out it is bloody

Neutral- I won't post it due to copyright laws, but on another site is a live deer with two ears like that.
Just what is it you are implying?

just my opinion but neutral has made a good case because no one will be able to post a pic that looks remotely like that deer

Ok alittle on ears but rompola bucks ears point to the ground as if they are unattached from skull the skull would not be able to support that much bone jutting out of side of head. If your deer fought the rompola it would kill it because brow tines are to far apart. Honestly no jealousy involved because antlers are nice but has nothing to do with me going to the woods. If the deer look like hanson buck I could buy it better.
