Actually it's antlerless, which includes bucks that have dropped their antlers. I've seen 4 so far that have dropped their antlers, 3 of which were between X-mas and New Years! I've never seen them drop so early, must have to do w/ the weather, i.e., dryness of this past summer and food sources. My advice is get high in the tree, I usually hunt about 18' w/ my climberbut this time of year I tend go a few feet higher. Look for those late season food sources, often the green grass in the back yards of those 5 acre lots, figure out where they're bedding and set up in between. Make sure the wind is right also!
