Default RE: variable to consider for sheds?

No! This has been studied on deer farms with all deer living under the same conditions, they still lose their antlers between Dec and April.
Even the same deer will shed in Jan. one year and March the next.
The only consistent is when the new ones start to grow, 12 hours of daylight is what triggers a hormone that starts the antler growing process. That is around April first here.
