6-Pointer Today

No, I didn't get him nor even shoot at him.

I thought I'd mention that he trotted across the the country road upon which I was driving to work this morning (not so close as to be a problem), but I thought that by now he'd a shed that rack. It's a winding road so I couldn't stop to get a photo for y'all. Sorry.

Are the bucks still in antlers where you are ???

Me and the girls (german sheperds) walking down the street last week and two very nice mulies with antlers intact crossed a few blocks in front of us.

I saw a buck in Iowa one time April 14. Still had both sides. That’s the latest I’ve ever seen. It’s not uncommon to see them in March with some here in PA.

Went for a little hike up on the mountain here at my place yesterday. On my way back I walked through some thick stuff on deer trails looking for sheds. Per usual I found none.

 

[FishDFly]

One of my lessors is supposed to bring a dog which is trained to find sheds in April, will be interesting to see what he finds.

I find most of mine in tractor and truck tires.

 

[nhmoose]

They will have dropped here in NH by mid-January.

Just saw 3 buck on tuesday, two eight points and a two point one horn.

 

[Eutycus]

The one I almost hit with my pickup here in South Texas the other night still had a good rack on him.

 

[chivo45]

Haven't seen any big ones yet this year here in East tx

 

[deerstalkert]

still have their head gear up here!

 

[TDM]

Here, they start shedding early to mid March.

Saw a small buck with rack here in ct yesterday. Interesting that I shot a buck in early dec last year, 22’, that had dropped its antlers. I’m guessing he was a fighter

 

[SciAggie]

I’m in Central Texas. Most still have their antlers, but a few have already dropped theirs.

It's a very weird year. I have some bucks on my trail cams that lost antlers in late Dec/early January. Some more recent..... but then I have some that still have them....
And stranger still, I have some making fresh rubs, and a couple weeks ago caught two small bucks fighting. Not like early season sparing and feeling eachother out,,, they are going to town on eachother for at least 3 minutes....

It seems that I’ve heard of a second rut occurring once in a great while. Never seen it myself, only heard of it.
