when will they start to shed their antlers?

Well actually you have been misinformed. Deer don't actually shed their antlers. Chuck Norris walks around and rips them off their head. He usually waits until everyones deer season is over. So it should be around late Feb. to March. Depends on your location when he might make it to your area.

ok kool so i was right then

any chance of january? im in ga

Here in MO it is possible for them to have started already, though not likely. Around my area by the middle of February they have all dropped.

here in ct they started about 2 weeks ago

here in tenn its not unusal to see them in turkey season thats april here,,still with there old racks,,now thats wild,,

Here in Indiana they start dropping them late feburary , early march. I got video of 5 bucks comming into my food plot last weekend of feburary with their bones still on, then 2 weeks later same 5 without bones.

I've never shed hunted, but I heard you can take a 3ft tall by 2 ft wide piece of chicken wire, 2 pieces of rebar 4' long and a salt block. Put the rebar in the ground on each side of the salt block at a slight angle so they come over the salt block, then attach the wire with ties and when the deer come to the salt block they will rub their antlers, then when the antlers are getting close to falling the wire will facilitate the process and the antlers will be there waiting for you. I tried it last year with no success.

Last year a i was huntin with a buddy on Dec 30th and we found the right side to an 8 point. We are up in MA
