Yep, my brother checked one of my cameras yesterday and he said that one had dropped. Usually we get at least one earlier than this every year.

Well I dont know why unless its just extreme stress or a lopsided buck/doe ratio but the county I hunt in Northern WV the bucks start losing them the first week in December. I killed a nice 8 pointer on Dec 4, 2004 and pulled a horn off dragging it. By the end of the 2nd week in December 90% of the horns are gone and you better be darn careful what ya shoot at. Im thinking that may be the earliest any whitetail bucks int he country lose their horns.

I've seen bucks killed in first week of Janurary's antlerless season. No antlers on thier heads, already dropped them. I've also seen bucks carrying both sides in March!Who knows when they will drop, wish I knew when they would drop for sure.
