finding antlers

[watts23]

when should i start finding antlers?
is itin Late Janurary or early Feburary?

[Rory/MO]

depends on where your at

I usually dont start looking around my part of MN until early March. I try to wait until I know all are on the ground and they should be by this time.

Given a stressful winter (as we have had so far) they will lose them earlier. I found a set in mid December this year, earliest I have ever found one.

ya i look hard while im turkey hunting
found a couple last year that way

[MK M GOBL]

Picked up 4 last weekend, but I don't start looking really hard until mid February. Over the next month over half of the deer will drop, and by mid March 90% will be on the ground. That should hold true for most of the midwest.

Mid Feb. I have already found 2 sheds that where just dropped

[bloodcrick]

My eyes are always looking all year round even while hunting. My area southern Indiana, Feb-April with March being the HOT month, like already said it depends on the area and how much stress the bucks have been through.

[TeeJay]

Of course the later the beter. But they have been dropping here for a month now.

I'm thinking late Jan. they will be dropping so Feb. and March so be even more productive to find sheds.Last year I was out in the woods in early March and I saw a young 4-point Buck with only 1 side of his rack still on him.
