Crazy! Had a good buck in my yard this week and saw a bachelor group of six tonight three of which still had horns. Usually gone by Jan 15th here?

Seems like the big  snowstorm that we got right after x-mas caused most of the bucks in my area to drop early.  I believe that a majority of them were bald by mid-January.

Shed #1 for the season came on 12/15/12...

I've seen some of my buddy's pet deer carry their antlers into the first week of April. I think it depends on the overall health n nutrition of the deer.

Found the bigger one yesterday (3 pictures). The biggest shed I've ever found!  Found the smaller one two weeks ago.  I live in North Central Pa.  Had a buddy of mine tell me that his brother had seven bucks in his yard yesterday all sporting their headgear.

Still getting pics on our farm in OH of antlered bucks, too.  I did see a buck in one of our fields Saturday that had lost them.  I haven't found one shed yet, which is rare by this time of year.
