Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

I just talked to a friend who said that the bucks in his backyard still have their antlers now. He said he counted six different bucks the one night, one was a monster that i saw briefly one night. has anyone else had the same experience in pa? i had yet to see a buck on any of my stealth cam pics other than some button bucks and maybe some scars on heads...thanks

I was out this past monday spotting with my son and still saw bucks with antlers.

(I am going to move this to the Northeast forum where you are likely to get more responses.

i saw a buck on the way home last night with full head gear. all the deer are running in big heards now, had 30 of them (all does/fawns) in my front yard one night last week.

I've been out shed hunting several times now.I've seen literally hundreds of deer in those trips and not a one has had antler.If all the deer I've seen are does then the herd is in sad shape. On the flir side to that I have only found 1 sheds so far .That makes me wonder if im seeing all these deer and some have to bucks that shed already where are all the antlers.I will find them its just a matter of time.

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

Not necessarily, shedman. Bucks have entirely different habits than does at this time of year. It would actually be pretty abnormal for bucks to be traveling with big groups of does this late in the winter. I'm going to do some shed hunting next weekend and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I find some sheds...

Lies,lies,lies, No deer left in PA as evident by this past season. Dont you guys know that already??;) Alt killed em all with his too many doe permits and miss managment.

PS: I know of 3 different people in the past 2 weeks that have seen bucks with horns still attached.:D

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

I've heard some mixed reviews about PA's new management laws. Lots of people are in agreement with you, ilbback, while others claim that the new restrictions seem to be working. Pretty interesting.

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

ilbback- I read your post in the bow forum and now I detect the sarcasm in your post here... It's ALL coming together now......

I tried to go shed hunting yesterday and there is still 15-20" of snow out on the mountain[:@] Cant wait for spring!!

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

I may end up finding a bunch of snow in Western Maryland too, when I get out to the mountains next weekend. I am hoping that it has melted enough by now to find some antlers.

I've seen them here in N.E. Pa. and had one until mid March last year.

I had my camera out last week and got 2 different bucks on film. My uncle emailed me today and said there was a nice 9 point in his yard last night. I personally haven't seen any bucks but I heard alot of them are still sporting wood.:D

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

If they're like me, they'll have to be about 28 years old until they stop doing that. :D:D:D

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

I saw a spike in my yeard last night. Last year I saw a buck up to march 6 still with his horns.

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

Yeah bucks in clinton county still have horns saw one just two nights ago 6 pt with both horns still --- should be falling off any day now.

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

I have a question about button bucks. Do they drop their "antlers" or "buttons" or do they continually grow right through winter and into Spring.

"The only stupid question is the one not asked"

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

Hey Catt. Yes, button bucks drop their buttons too. They might be hard to find though!

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

Haha yea bucks may still have thier antlers on ... !

Here is a pic from my stealth cam about a week ago....

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

I seen a buck about 2 weeks ago. He almost ran into my truck. I was somewhat amazed to see a deer with antlers still. Maybe with how cold it was this winter, they were frozen to their heads:D.

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

I saw 2 buck in the past week , both only had one side though , but still had some head gear left

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

The lady who owns the local restaurant where I eat breakfast every morning told me she hit a deer last night and damaged her husbands truck, shesaid it had a lot of antlers, That was in central Delaware, about 15 miles South of me....

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

Still getting reports of bucks still running around with full or partial head gear in the northeast section of Pa.

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

word has it there has been some seen in the york co. area none personaly just from fellow hunters here we seen 25 off the side of i-83 tues going to fast to see what was in the group.

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

I saw a buck just 2 days ago that had one antler still on his head. He wouldn't have been legal here in PA anyway. He only had 2 points on that side.

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

Been hearing this from all over. Going out to my leases in Illinois next weekend to shed hunt and look at a new lease. Word from there is the same. Lots of em still packing horns. Hope the big ones have dropped by then!

RE: Bucks with antlers still in PA?
 

Just got some more pictures back from the stealth cam from last week and there still are bucks with antlers out in my neck of the woods.
