RE: First Antlers!
I am in SE Alabama. As late as phots of 4-18 off mytrail cameraswhihc are scattered across the 3150 acres I hunt had several shots of bucks that had not yet shed (spikes through a few pretty nice 8-9-10 points). I am guessing from the photos, about 20 different bucks.Not unusual for down here.
Last round of camera down loads, latest dated 5-15, a total of1156 shots ...lots of big bodies in the bunch, but no antlers. So I am pretty confident that the boys have now shed.
None of these latest shots showednew growth.
