I shot an antlerless deer today in Arkansas, thinking it was a big doe, and when I walked up to it, it was a 140lb. buck who had recently shed his antlers.

He didn't have any fat on him, and I figure he's lost 30-40 pounds the past two three months chasing does.

I heard a deer a few minutes before I saw him, and heard a couple of crashes. I wonder if he shed his antlers just a few minutes before i saw him. Hopefully, I'll be able to go back to look for sheds next week.
