From what I've heard they've been falling off since early Dec in CT. Getting the dog ready for spring reconaissance missions!

The Iowa DNR website, because of the harvest reporting system they have in that state, has up to date harvest information by county. Info is listed by Antlered Buck, Doe, Button Buck and Shed Buck. I was suprised how early in December I started seeing shed bucks registered.

This is really weird. I had 2 mature bucks come in last Saturday evening and BOTH had one antler. It was too dark to tell but I don't think they had been broken off.   BILL

I find quite a few in late December on the public land where the deer have been pressured a lot during gun season.

If deer are pressured hard, have little food been injured,  or any combination will cause them to get rid of the extra weight to help them survive.

The Black-tails in my area have been dropping them for at least a week now.

It is a bell shaped curve...some lose them early, some late, and most in the middle

Killed a small buck in early January a few years back that had dropped both sides already.

I rattled in a buck two days ago that already shed his antlers. I got it on film. Coming into my horns, the buck look like a gunfighter coming to a gun fight with out his guns! Ha!
