Some bucks don't loose their antlers until the new growth pushes them off for whatever reason, call it stress, call it testosterone levels, nutrition etc. Some bucks drop early, some hang on late.

I saw a bucklast weekendoff the side of the highway that still had one side of his horns in florida. I can't explain it, but i saw it. Dont worry about thempickin onyou about calling them horns, it has never bothered me. Calling them horns is a southern thang, and most are yankees
