Yep, I found two fresh antlers this weekend with just a bit of looking. In a couple of weeks I am going to shed hunt hard and see what I come up with. One was a 3 point shed, one a spike shed, and I found two 4 point sheds that were last years.
Anybody else ?

I also have started looking...found 2 from last year. 1 was a 3 point that was in great shape. I found it around some cedar trees. I found a huge 4 point but it was in bad shape. Game & Fish advised me that they have started dropping so I will start looking hard.

my buddy last night called and tried to give me a four point . hit by a car . before i could even leave the house someone else got it. i have seen bucks keep them until march. i dont put much faith in the agfc . a biologist tried to tell a group that a bucks antlers continue to grow throughout the season and size depends on the quality of food during this period. also stated that the rut was over in nov. , then why are they still scraping, chasing does, the only thing i havent seen is the actual copulation. there is just something about a biologist that has an office in little rock trying to tell poeple that see deer everyday about deer.

hadn't found any sheds, but my son has been seein several deer that still have their antlers. they usually start losin em down here in late december. but I've
seen em as late as feb with a full rack to. I'm hopin I might get lucky and
stick one that still has his horns.
