Really weird year up here. They have shedded the earliest i or anyone else can ever remember. Last year we had a ton of snow and knocked quite a few deer down. This year we got a good dump of snow by middle of october and by the end of november it was up past the knees in the fields. Since then we have had little snow and way above normal temps but i beleive that initial dump caused enough stress and flashbacks to last year and they started dropping by begining of december. Usually we would find the odd one over Christamas holidays however this year everyone and their dog had been pickin them up from dec 15th or so on. I have picked up 9 and have 5 bucks feeding in my yard that have all dropped. I have not found anythng really big yet but my bud picked up a set off of a 170 incher. So big and small they are shedden them all up in my area.
