Checked our cameras in a new place we have picked up to hunt and had this guy on it, I can tell he is mature and has double drop tines, but that's about all I can tell

Nice deer. For those that follow/log pictures, what is the chances of him being a drop tine buck again next year? I've only seen one in person my whole life (when I was teenager) and couldn't get the hammer back on the muzzleloader. I still have dreams about that deer!

If you look at those drop tines they look just like all those little plants or whatever those are stuck up all around the buck.a stud for sure.I hope you get more pics.I have never seen a droptine buck.your lucky

Great buck!

The only thing that worries me about getting excited is the date. Maybe a picture in February means something and maybe it doesn't. Some bucks have unique winter ranges. Where they are in winter says nothing about where they will be in fall. This isn't true of all bucks, but I've seen it often enough.
 
BSK is right, but since this is a new property for you and you've just put up cameras, maybe he's a homebody.

We've got one buck on our place that's an absolute stud. He won't score very high, he's barely an 8 pt, but he's definitely mature and about 25 inches wide. We've been after him for 3 years. Early bow season is our only chance at him...he disappears in early Oct. and shows back up in late Jan.

The good thing is a man that takes care of the place behind our place actually told me he saw a double drop tine buck running with a big 10 point back in October, thought he was exaggerating but I guess not, the land he takes care of really doesn't get hunted besides him killing a couple of does for meat and our place hasn't had much pressure, not to mention its extremely thick, so I'm hoping its the area he stays in.
 
I had the good fortune of taking a drop tines buck last year with my bow. He was a 3 year old but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity...good luck with him!

No but I moved the camera to what appears to be a deer intersection ditch crossing which is where he was heading so hopefully I'll get him again

I honestly don't know about west TN, but would bucks there have had time to bulk back up post rut in Feb? In middle TN, I'd tend to lean a bit more toward 3.5 based on conformation this time of the year, but your bucks may have still been running does in January and be underweight. Actually, I'd be even more excited if he was just 3.5 this year, as you'll prob get a bigger jump up in antler score from 3.5 to 4.5 than you would if was 4.5 already this year and 5.5 next.
