I think it's a BB, not a buck that shed. Wouldnt a buck that already dropped have a bloody, bony looking spot there where the antlers used to be?

The one closest to the camera is definitely a button buck. You can see the nubs on top of his head. The second one is too hard to tell. qzq38b is right. If they had dropped their antlers you would be able to see where a round bloody hole where the antlers were.

I think they are both button bucks...wouldn't a older doe have a little "rump" on her..?

The doe has a bigger head/longer nose,bigger chest, and looks better conditioned body wise and muscle wise tellin ya its an adult doe. Old doe?.... No.... but last years fawn most likely with a single fawn. WCL

Bucks here in Iowa normally drop during Feb - Mar, but due to the extreme weather this year (tons of snow and abnromally cold) they dropped really early. Friends who muzzleloaded two weeks ago shot 10 "slickheads". When they went to the deer, they discovered 6 of them were bucks that dropped their antlers. They told me they thought it odd they had not seen any bucks while hunting and were sick to their stomachs they dropped six bucks without knowing it.
