I haven't yet. A buddy was up in Hancock county over the weekend and saw a bunch of deer still holding their antlers. A few of them were easy PY bucks too.

I've heard of a few being found, but none for me yet. Just got these pics off the trail cam from the past week...

My dad went this weekend for about 4-5 hours and didn't find a thing (Adams Co.). I think it's a little early, but numerous people have been finding them, so they are out there. I've also been scouting a new farm and seeing a ton of deer lately and hardly any have antlers. I'm not sure if it's just a lot of does, or if they have dropped. Time will tell....

I found one last Sunday. I know of several being found. Personally I think most have dropped now.

I have a forest preserve down the street from me and I have been really shocked to see a few bucks that haven't dropped yet. I was driving home about an hour ago and saw a huge buck that I didn't even know existed in those woods. Really wish that I was able to hunt that land. Hopefully he will drop those huge rack soon so I can claim them!
