RE: Bucks with bone ? Still ?
A guy here in PA saw one with his rack as well. Some don't drop until the new growth but as BHF pointed out, that should be now.
I'm wondering if these bucks have injuries and won't drop or grow?

The antler regeneration process can actually being to take place while the antlers are still intact, which my be your case. If not, then your buck may be holding that rack for another year.
