    I've been searching online, and can't seem to come up with an answer. Please Help!
    I'm looking for a fairly scientific answer. I've seen pictures of typical deer with more points on one side than another, and I've seen non-typical deer with almost symetrical racks. I also know, that a drop tine is not the only thing that will classifly a deer as non-typical. Someone please help me!

    A non typical will have a rack that is bigger on one side or more tine,s on one side. A typical will have a fairly symmetrical rack. Both sides of the rack will look pretty much the same.

    Non-typical antlers
    Antlers that have at least one abnormal point. An abnormal point is any point that does not originate from the main beam in one of the normal (e.g., G1, G2, G3, etc.) antler tine locations.

    Okay, your scientific answer is that it has an abnormality.
    The problem: there are lots and lots of possible causes, everything from genetics to tumors. Or an injury to the velvet, such as deep abrasions, or an infection of the velvet during the formative stages of bone growth.
    The deer who consistantly produce abnormal antler development year after year, are the ones most likely caused by genetic deformality/abnormality, while everyone else who has had that problem can most likely blame it on the circumstances.
