Has anyone seen any bucks shedding yet?

[pcappy08]

Got half rack on cam wondering if anyone else has been noticing them starting to drop? Seems a little early.

I hunted the 30th and 31st here in MN and saw one with one antler but could not get a close enough look to see if it had dropped or was broken off low.

Nephew hunted the last day of muzzleloader season (December) and shot a half rack 6pt.  The other side fell off when he grabbed the rack for a photo.

Picked up 4 sheds New Years Day while checking trail cameras. One set and two singles, there are 4 other bucks that have shed that aren't any of the ones I picked up. One side of the set I found was only on the ground for a couple of hours. He was in front of my camera at 6am with one side on and I picked it up a little after 8am.

I got one on camera over the weekend. Im just glad he's still around. He's a three year old 8 point.

Friend of mine shot a really good buck Christmas Eve, one antler fell off when he hit the ground. They do seem to be shedding early this year. Last year I was seeing antlered bucks through the end of January. Checked cameras last week and had no antlered bucks, a couple looked like bucks body wise, pics weren't good enough to see pedicels.

Found a 75 incher in southern Iowa December 22nd.

Also saw another buck that was shed. Prolly saw 20 bucks carrying both sides though.

Still wearing antlers in Central Indiana.  I saw a nice 6 point and a really nice 8 point tonight and they were still carrying.

Hope I see some still carrying in the morning, at least one. Haven't had as much time to hunt this season as I normally do and would like to put a little more meat in the freezer.

I saw six bucks over the last weekend that did not have antlers here in Illinois. Mike

I have game cam pic's of a shed buck on 12/21 then I saw 7 young bucks roaming together on 12/23, all had both sides intact.

I found these just like this two days after Xmas. Talking with the landowner, he mentioned seeing a couple of Bucks out in his field since the season ended a month back. He thought he was seeing more does all of a sudden.
I took my Lab out for a run in the hayfield and saw these from a distance just before Parker did. Told him to stay while I took a few pix then let him retrieve them. "Good Boy"!!
They would score in the low 160's.
Now if he can avoid traffic and coyotes for the next 6 months.

A friend of mine in NE has found 8 so far.

[jonsimoneau]

Yep. I saw a buck last night that had shed both sides.

[Seeza]

Hunted in West Virginia the last 4 days of December.  Saw two bucks that had shed their rack.  A friend found a shed on the way to his stand and shot the buck it came off.  The other antler came off as the buck fell.  Great way to have a set.

I have trail cam pics of one dated 12-21-12.  Earliest I've ever gotten...my location is Northeast Missouri...
